As long as we're on the topic of obstruction, how would you call these?:

Abel on 2B, Baker on 1B, 2 outs. Charles hits a smash to F5, who backhands the ball on one hop and starts toward 3B for the force out. Abel then trips over F6, 50 feet from 3B, just before F5 tags 3B. F5, seeing the obstruction, then fires to 1B to retire Charles easily.

Dead ball and obstruction the moment F5 tagged 3B to retire Abel?

Or same play but F5, seeing the obstruction, decides not to step on 3B and instead fires to 1B to retire Charles.

Third out?
