Just to be clear: this would happen ONLY for FED. In OBR (and codes based on it), R2 would be awarded 2B, the base to which he was returning.

based upon this post you have Type B correct? Type A OBR OBS would give R2 a base award correct?

Reading bossman's play description, I think this would be Type A obstruction in OBR. Do you disagree?

Cool
Welpe,

Per bossman's description, this is definitely "Type A" Obstruction under OBR rules; it's an immediate dead ball and the R2 would be awarded 3B and the R3 would be awarded home because he was "forced" by R2's award.

WHAT? Have you suddenly become a coach, or a mom?

A play is being made on the obstructed runner. Type A, eh?

Now that's being your own worst critic! I like it, and I like it a lot.
