Did Runner Interfere So Teammate Could Score?

So, after all the back-and-forth, etc. etc. etc., I believe we can all agree on this:  It's a judgment call.

I guess I see it as obvious that the interference was intentional.

Let me put it this way - if something is obvious to me, but not obvious to another person*, it is, by definition, not obvious.

Friendly advice - if you're making a statement, and at least one of the listeners is your boss, or a customer, never use the word "obviously".  If it's obvious, then you don't have to state it, because it's obvious.  Inevitably, at some point your boss, boss's boss, CEO or customer is not going to find it obvious, and you will find saying that word to be career limiting...whether you intended it or not, they're going to conclude you said they are stupid.

"Obviously" is the most useless word in anyone's vocabulary.  It serves no purpose - it is at best redundant, at worst condescending.  I do everything in my power to avoid using it.  For example, what is lacking from "the sun is hot" that requires one to say "obviously, the sun is hot"?  Are those two statements factually different?  Does one provide more information than the other?  And in that respect, why would you have to say it at all?  Isn't it obvious?

Thank you for listening.

last night at second.

1. if he just runs straight to the base no effort to avoid or peal off or slide (risking taking one in the face), no movement whatsoever, what 'would' MLB have for the call.

2. looks like he 'jumps up' in the air skyward, rather than raise hands up skyward, turns head and body and takes the hit to back of helmet. would all the levels, LL, MS, HS, HSjv, Collegiate, MiLB and any other leagues or travel ball have interference.

what about scenario 1. what would all leagues have with just straight, no movements at all and risking hit to the face, as their call.

3. so without the vertical leap in the air would this be legal, with just a head turn.
