Sorrry no video yet, grilling seabass. B5, R2, fly ball to CF, announcers notice F4 either deking a throw (not likely) or positioning to block R2's view. No point by U2 but even if you judged obstruction it was type 2 and no award in this sit. But announcers go on about how more infielders should do this as it is a smart move, which it isn't because it can be an awarded base depending.

@JimurrayInning? Pitch number? I can pull the clip.

As Jimurray says, the clip is titled "Booth in Awe of Hernandez". 4th row down, 1st on the left (at least when I pull it up)

Have a hard time seeing it called OBS at MLB but it does leave it open to ump discretion. Unsportsmanlike territory for sure at LL level.

 

Interesting thing I noticed at 0:33 mark: ESPN marks a pitch on the edge of their marked zone a 'K' before the umpire makes his signal 🤨
