From my position (behind the mound), I couldn't tell if F2 was blocking the plate. From the small amount of contact, I'm inclined to believe he was in position to make the play but that he wasn't blocking the plate - but I'm guessing.
Dash, you and I are on the same page. The penalty was equivalent to the outcome of the play - so nothing worth noting on the field. Had the ball come loose, PU would have called the runner out. jicecone is correct as well - incidental, HTBT (as are most contact situations) - would apply the penalty for OBS or not avoiding contact if the case presented itself.
I don't believe I've had the "they can't say balk" comment yet. That's a good one.
