Are you trying to figure out if the delay of the BR was caused by F3 with the ball; pretty sure it was not because F3 was inside the line and the BR and F4 were on foul side.
Anyway, my main question is confirming that a fielder can obstruct even if past the base the R/BR is running to.

Okay, let's start with fair/foul ground being irrelevant.
I wanted to know the relationship of the BR to F3 to determine how F3 took away moving inside.
I wanted to know the distance the BR was from the base because there is a difference between checking-up 10' away to avoid a collision and making a poor running decision 30' away from the base.
