Obstruction?, Interference? Nothing?

Bob, in the original example/question, F9 fielded the ball and threw to F4, and in fact threw BR out. That is a "type A" obstruction. It still looks to me like F3 obstructed BR and the play at 2B put him out.

In your original post, you said, "A collosion (sic) occurs between R1 and F3 in the baseline about 2 feet from first base. F9 picks up the ball and easliy (sic) throws R1 out at second."

I took that to mean that the obstruction occurred prior to F9 picking up the ball, and prior to the throw.

That makes it type B obstruction.
