I will add my favorite mantra about obstruction to the discussion:
Obstruction is a violation by the defense, if in doubt, penalize the defense.
I'll agree with the group also citing the "all affected runners" provision. In each of the variations presented, the obstruction on Abel affected Baker advancing to the base he would have obtained without the obstruction.
