Can you completely block a base with your leg on a stolen base attempt? A's second basemen just did and got the out. He... paid the price by getting a foot full of cleats by doing so.

The essence of Cubs Posting is simultaneously posting contrarian views and that way you can never be wrong.

You can shorten the season from 162 games to 60 games but there are things that’ll never change.

I was kind of wondering that when the Braves scored on a wild pitch last night. The pitched slid across the plate to completely block it and almost succeeded. I'm sure the rules at home plate are different than second, but it did make me wonder what would qualify as interference in those cases.

If the fielder is receiving or has the ball they can block the base.

The rules:

OBSTRUCTION is the act of a fielder who, while not in posses-sion of the ball and not in the act of fielding the ball, impedes theprogress of any runner.
Rule 6.01(h ) Comment (Rule 2.00 (Obstruction ) Comment ):If a fielder is about to receive a thrown ball and if the ball is inflight directly toward and near enough to the fielder so he must occupy his position to receive the ball he may be considered"in the act of fielding a ball." It is entirely up to the judgment of the umpire as to whether a fielder is in the act of fielding a ball. After a fielder has made an attempt to field a ball and missed, he can no longer be in the "act of fielding" the ball.

In other words "Trust the Ump!"
