I think some of this needs clarification or expansion.
"runner has the absolute right to get to & beyond a base in whatever manner she chooses"
as long as "any manner" does not include intentional contact or something that is illegal interference.
"covering second on a wild throw (going for the ball)"
"not being able to block a bag/plate before you have the ball "
"got in the way - in any way the runner - that is obstruction"
only if getting "in the way" actually impeded the runner (caused a change of direction, speed or stance)
