Depends on whether the umpire believed the runner would have safely reached 2B had the OBS not occured.

Question #2..
R1 rounds first base and is obstructed by F3.
R1 continues around second base and is thrown out at third base.

Depends on whether the umpire believed the runner would have safely reached 3B had the OBS not occured.

Question #3..
R1 rounds first base and is obsructed by F3.
R1 continues around second and third base and is thrown out at home plate.

Depends on whether the umpire believed the runner would have safely reached home had the OBS not occured.

What's the call in the above three situations????

Thanks

If the umpire believe the runner would have reached the noted base safely had the OBS not occured, safe. Otherwise, out. Only in #1 could the runner be returned to the previous base safely.

Since none of the OP mentioned missing any exceptions to the OBS rule, I'm pretty sure these answers are accurate.
