I guess I will just try to use it for my advantage. I do give you upms much credit, though!

Not sure what 6-foot lane you're referring to.
All that matters is the basePATH (not the baseLINE) that the runner has chosen to run. If the fielder is (A) in that path, without the ball and (B) causes the runner to slow, change direction, etc (including, but not limited to, being contacted by that fielder), then you have OBS.
