I almost said true to the last question because I had in my head that obstruction is a call where the manager can elect to take the result of the play or enforce the obstruction penalty.

I'd say we're dealing with hypotheticals. While I believe Bo Porter could royally screw up his batting order for an out of order situation and I believe Don Mattingly isn't smart enough to appeal (not because no runner reached base.. but because he is Don Mattingly), I don't think any of these plays actually happened.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-40685386913997588832013-06-18T22:08:14.267-07:002013-06-18T22:08:14.267-07:00are these hypothetical, or did some of them actual...are these hypothetical, or did some of them actually happen as written?Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361341904305010488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-11221112499790421782013-06-18T21:51:14.570-07:002013-06-18T21:51:14.570-07:00I got 9/10 on this.
