R1 is leading off, and F6 is shading toward 2B for a LH batter. Batter hits a short hopper to SS who fields and steps on the bag and begins his throw to F3. R1 thinks it was a caught line drive so he is returning to 1B and runs into F3 who is moving toward the bag to receive the end of the 6-3 DP. And the call is obstruction, award R1 2B. Come on, get real.

I'm real. I also know the rule.
Type B OBS requires no award: you must nullify the OBS. In the play, R1 is retired at 2B on the force out; he would have been out anyway without the OBS; thus no need to award a base.
But it's still obstruction. Kinda moot, as I said, since we're both calling R1 out. How many internet umpires can dance on the head of a pin?

I know this was an OBR question, but what would you do in a FED game?
