Textbook OBS. Despite the protestations of the SD common-tators, being "two steps on the infield grass" has nuttin' to do with nuttin'.
Of course, if F2 catches the pitch in the first place, we ain't in this mess.

R2 was clearly within "his" baseline during all tag attempts.
R2 was clearly hindered and he was clearly not intentionally running into a fielder (without the ball) trying to draw the OBS. Clearly OBS. Nice call.

This is obstruction, only. The 'out of baseline' only applies when a tag is being attempted on a runner.

Obstruction. Textbook.

"What...what is Gyorko s'posed to do, run into the dugout?"
Well, first off, it was Headley, not Gyorko. And now that you mention it, Dick...

Tangential question - as a coach I've read enough materials on coaching baserunning that instruct runners to, if possible, run into the fielder as happened here (not saying that's what happened here, just that the instruction I read says it's a good "teach"). From an official's standpoint is that a HTBT in determining if there was intent by the runner (does intent even matter?) or are there things you look for when a runner tries something like that? Hasn't happened to me either way but was curious if anyone's had that type of thing happen.
