I had an "on the field board meeting" with myself and we conclude that in both OBR & FED, there is obstruction by F1 and it is delayed TIME (as always in FED). Once play has ceased, in this case everyone in a heap, TIME is called and:
- OBR = the base or bases that in the umpire's opinion would nullify the obstruction.
- FED = a minimum of 1 base award then same as OBR.
In both cases, there is no way that the batter-runner would have made it past 1st so that is where I am placing him.
As far as the ball going out of bounds, it never happened because TIME was called due to the cessation of play (see above). Also, it was F1 who caused the obstruction, not F2 so there was no play being made on the batter-runner, yet. This makes it Type B, not Type A.
Dash made the right call, people!
