Again, does F6 shouting "I got it" while she's still behind the 2-3 baseline (but charging) let us off the hook as far as making the choice?

We are not the coach. Protect the fielder that is in the best position to make the play... regardless of whatever they are coached.
The only way I could possibly see protecting F6 on a play like this is if I see F1 running immediately AWAY from the area, and F6 becomes most likely to play the ball before there is anything happening between F6 and R1. I see this as very unlikely... but possible.
