Either the BR runs through the base or they do not. The only other option is stopping on the base.

I'm not referring to slight movements, but something that gets my attention.

I've seen MLB infielders (esp at 2nd base on a hit and run), "deke" the runner in to thinking they are about to receive a thrown ball. Now, IF the runner slows down or stops because of this "dekeing," isn't that "obstruction?" If so, the MLB umps aren't calling it.
