To clarify a tad on obstruction. I know umpires who think "hinder" means contact. It doesn't.

If, while the ball is not in possession of F5, the runner slowed, veered, changed direction (or yes, contacted F5), and the umpire deems this slowing, veering, etc was BECAUSE OF the fielder being in the way ... yes, you have obstruction.
