Out-overturned to safe on Obstruction

[Haid D' Salaami]

 

the Pitcher did nothing to stop the runner from reaching 1st... he would have been out anyways...But i know the rule..

 

but the question reminds.. why did the PU not do anything.. this is his call.

Don't leave me hanging here. How is this taught at the school?

 

Isn't the plate umpire immediately supposed to start signalling time and obstruction when it occurs, without worrying about whether or not the base umpire is starting or getting ready to start his out or safe call?

 

Would the school use a play like the pitcher coming over to field the ball at the line on a bunt and the ball is already past him and his momentum causes him to collide with the base runner running to first in the base line. At least that is a hypothetical that I can come up with, but that obstruction happens much further from the bag (more towards home plate) than this one did.

 

We did go ovcer plays like this at school.. all types of OBS plays.. and yes the PU should call time and award OBS.

There's no way around the fact that that is a major screw-up by U1.  It's actually pretty brutal. and just gets worse and worse with every repeat viewing.

 

No harm no foul, though.

you sir have absolutely no idea what your talking about

AND FOR THE LAST TIME i KNOW THE RULES, THEY GOT IT RIGHT... BUT i DO NOT LIKE THE RULE. THAT'S ALL.

Guys this is a good debate lets not take it to the personal level.

They got the call right therefore no screwup

LOL, keep telling yourself that.

 

This wasn't a pee wee rec ball game, it's the freaking major leagues.

U1 had about 12 things going on at once.  You wouldn't have gotten the OBS either.  They got it right.

 

The day I screw up that bad is the day I retire.  No way I would miss something that obvious right in front of me.

 

You sound like a total jock-sniffing fanboy when you continue to defend these guys on obvious mistakes like that.

 

Edit to completely hammer home the point of your RIDICULOUS "12 things" comment.  U1 has exactly one job on this play, and one job only, and that is to watch the action at the bag.  That's it.  Ball, runner, fielder, and obstructing fielder all within a few square inches.  All of the peripheral BS here is just nonsense that a supposed professional should know enough to tune out, and in fact if you watch the video AGAIN, you will see him focusing all of his attention on 1st base, which is what he should be doing.  He just flat out RAPES the call.  You guys are acting like his head is on swivel vainly attempting to ascertain all of the key and varied elements of a complicated play.  This could not possibly be any SIMPLER for him as literally every single thing that he needs to see for this play is RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF HIM within easy view.

 

And he still blows it.  Just terrible umpiring.  Thank god his crew was there to bail him out, and I'm sure he'll be buying them drinks for the rest of the season for saving his ass from national ridicule.

 

 

What levels do you work?  

 

Continue to defend these guys?  When did I defend anyone at all costs in the first place?  Do you think it's odd that you're all by your lonesome here?

 

I'm sure you've been a part of numerous professional games, so we should defer to your excellence.  Give me a break.  You're a hack.

Since Hunter is Harry's in this case, I think we know how it's taught at Harry's.
