I can agree with this. My thought was more surrounding the idea of if the umpire decided to protect the BR to 2B. I think in this sitch, protecting to 1B is the proper decision.

I too stand corrected.

Nullifying the act of OBS... we still have R2 standing on 2nd. So BR would have to have been on first. Protecting him back to first nullifies the OBS. I see the light.

Of course in FED we have a whole different story.

With all the BS going on around here this thread should stand as an example of posting a question, a discussion and a learning experience for all...

I think we would have a different situation if the batter-runner were tagged out trying to reach 2B if the umpire has decided to protect him to 2B due to the obstruction. But in this case both runners were on 2b.

Exactly the options we have on Type B - what would have happened absent the obstruction.
