Ump starts his 3rd strike calls before the ball reaches the plate. Made up his mind before the pitch is finished.
Anything close gets his showmanship call. Hope he calls it both ways.

As long as Kennedy gets the same wide zone I won't complain. The low pitch is getting the far river bank for now

One would think there would actually need to be some obstruction for obstruction call

Right? Girl slid freely to the bag and was tagged 2-3 feet away from the bag
Unreal

Meanwhile Kennedy has to throw extra pitches and l$u gets 2 free runs.
Just an old dad who raise 3 Ags. Inherited 2 more. GIG’EM

Zone gets tighter and ridiculous obstruction leads to 2 runs for the tigers. Need another crooked number inning.
Top of the zone appears to be below the belt. Adjust to that

Obstruction is asame in softball as baseball. Can't block the bag without possession of the ball unless in act of fielding the throw it caries you into the path. She was straddling the base path/base. Should have been positioned just in front of the bag. Legit call.

I saw Koko straddling the bag. The LSU player slid between Koko's legs straight to the bag. Also, Koko had the ball in her possession and tagged the runner out a good 6-12 inches away from the bag!
Curious as to what you saw that made you think there was obstruction.aggieheart said:

It's not a result oriented call. It's a rule. It was applied correctly. At least this is how I was trained as an umpire, called as an umpire, and trained other umpires. If I am wrong then so is most of the umpiring world I know.Astroag said:aggieheart said:Same thing. Rule is to prevent collisions.Astroag said:aggieheart said:

Under the revised rule, it is obstruction if the defensive player, while not in possession of the ball, does the following:
Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate.
Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base.
However, defensive players will not be called for obstruction if they are in possession of the ball or if they are making a legitimate reaction to the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown. Additionally, if in the umpire's judgment the runner would have clearly been out, then obstruction is ignored.

Well that's pretty standard these days and historically, no?
I mean why else we need Robo umps?

Even the announcers, LSU biased, said this rule needs to be changed. It is not being called the way the rule was intended.

Maybe that helps clear it up for you.
Further clarification in NCAA since last year: "The changes in the obstruction rule prohibit a defensive player who does not have the ball from blocking any part of the leading edge of the four bases or otherwise keeping the runner from advancing or returning to a base. It will not be obstruction if the defender has the ball or is making a legitimate play on a thrown ball."Astroag said:aggieheart said:It's not a result oriented call. It's a rule.
