3) is there any kind of 'verbal' mention of where the B/R is 'safe' to go w/o getting called out?

1. He is granted the base he would have gotten had he not been obstructed. You may elect to return the runner to 1st base. He cannot be called out between 1st & 2nd base (unless he commits interference or on appeal for a missed base).
2. When an obstructed runner is tagged out between the two bases where the obstruction occurred, the ball is immediately dead. He is awarded the base he would have reached had he not been obstructed.
3. No verbal.
