Two or more runners, the BU takes the lead runner to second, and if the runner goes for third, she becomes the PU's responsibility as the BU settles into a position to cover the other bases, and if needed, come to home and cover for the PU who is up the line at third.
Obstruction is the responsibility of all umpires on the field.
BU's, let the ball take you into the play. Important here is to watch the ball and let it tell you where the play is going. Do not over commit, but move easily into the proper position.
Except that most of us have the BU take the first play in the infield, even at 3rd.
I agree that "watch the ball and let it tell you where the play is going." is the point.
