It's like a "tangle/untangle" play at the plate.

Once a fielder is no longer in the act of fielding a ball, he has an obligation to give way to the runner and not obstruct him. In the play above, he did give way immediately after the fielding attempt/contact. The contact occured during the fielding attempt. Under no circumstances is this OBS.

I don't have OBS and neither did U2 on it. While watching the game, several replays were shown and U2 was shown in one signaling safe (and probably saying "That's nothing") immediately after the contact and well after the ball was already in centerfield. It took a lot of replays to get one with U2 in it after the contact but he definitely signaled safe after the contact.
