Defensive verbal cues to the offense?
Is it legal for an infielder to yell "back" to a baserunner at second base in an attempt to distract him?

2.22.1 SITUATION A: R1 attempts to steal second. F2, upon receiving the pitch, throws a pop-up to F6. F5 yells “get back, get back.” R1 thinks B2 has hit a popup and starts back to first where he is tagged out. RULING: This is verbal obstruction and R1 shall be awarded second base.

So the runner who is leading off 2nd base should be awarded 3rd base if the Shortstop yells "back" continually??
