Jimmy, PLEASE re-read the obstruction rule... you are looking at the whole thing wrong. F5 has no right to set up ANYwhere if she doesn't have the ball, and if she does, and it alter's the runner's actions, it's OBS.

All of these are easy - they all come down to the same question: Did the runner alter their actions DUE TO a fielder being in the basepath without possession of the ball? All of these COULD be obstruction. All of these COULD be nothing. The fake tag one could be an ejection, depending on whether it was truly a fake tag.
