If in a game situation, R3 would have bumped into F2 with a great amount of force, what if anything would I call (Babe Ruth/OBR rules)?

If there was no play or imminent play why would R3 run into him and not go around? If you are talking a slight bump, let it go and tell the F2 after the action not to stand there. If you are talking steam rolling them you are going to have MC whether there is a play or not (MC supersedes OBS).

But you NEED to be proactive. As mbryan states, get him to move before anything happens.
