But what if there is a possible/likely subsequent play on the BR, say at 2B? Must we still kill the ball?

If the Type B obstructed runner is approaching the base to which you are awarding or protecting him, then the ball is dead as soon as the fielder attempts to tag the obstructed runner or forces him into a rundown.
Ah, because then it becomes a Type A obstruction? Is that your rationale?

What about in FED, where all obstruction is type B? Obviously there, we would keep the ball alive...
