Traditionally, 8.05(a) violations, typically start/stop, are routinely ignored in my league as are technical IP like Rita described. Should we be more strict...
Or how about this (less likely) scenario: R2 is about to round 3rd and head for home on BR's extra-base hit. F5 sees him coming, lowers his shoulder and knocks...

I've heard about a lot of posts concerning the type "a" or "b" obstruction recently. I have not had the time to read each individual post but have heard that...
Swanny: The situation at hand (which was mine) was that R2 was obstructed by F5. Upon seeing the play at the plate, the runner slid headfirst, which in itself...
Swanny, Unfortunately you didn't read the rest of the posts because I posted directly from the same publication. Please make note of option #4 as it is the...
