Assuming that when JM says R2 "is blocked from the plate" he means completely "denied access to the plate," then cookie is correct. The case is almost exactly 2.22.1C(b).

I would not say HTBT, I would simply ask JM to clarify that the runner was completely denied access to the plate by a fielder without possession of the ball. If so, no further judgment is required.
