This push was not a dirty play. It was clear to me that it was an attempt by the runner to clear the obstacle (F5) that was preventing him from getting back to 3B. It was not a push to interfere or to punish.
The other type of push I've seen is in FP, where the runner on 2B is stealing third and F6 is late on the shift to cover, running to 3B in front of the runner. I've called nothing when the runner pushes the obstructing F6.
I agree that you HTBT on many of these.
