So what you are saying is we really have no idea who is standing where in relation to each other.

If you want to put it that way, yes.

She could be about to run into the catcher or she could be a foot or two behind her (from the angle we are viewing).

Are you sure she is about to run into the catcher?

I can't really tell much from the photo regarding obstruction. Positioning is three dimensional, not two. What appears as pictured is if PU was to start at point of the plate, he could better adjust for a 3rd base line extended call, assuming this is a play at a plate that we can't see.

The perception from the photo is he took a typical ASA 1st base line extended calling position too deep to adjust, so I imagine he could be blocked on a tag. It could be a force, but seems would still be straightlined to the throw.

Then again, the whole pic looks faked, like it was photoshopped. There's no fans or spectators in the backdrop, no dugout, no base coach, no lines, no base, nothing. Just weird.

I clicked the link, and the page is showing another pic. Someone in OKC must be "listening". :D

It rotates through several pictures. I think I clicked on the link 4 times before that one came up.

You're right. Some other umpire appears to be praising Jesus (assuming he is playing 3rd base) and some other umpire left all of his equipment on a dirt infield. Imagine putting you mask on the ground at an ASA clinic :eek:
