Agree with everyone else. Even if there had been contact between Fielder and Bogaerts, there's no way Fielder was obstructed from going to the base. A runner cannot deviate from his path to a base to try and draw an obstruction call.
And I trust that Martinez was called out for violating the three-foot path well before Pedroia tagged him.

I agree with the others.
IMO, this play just emphasized and made Fielder look like the sub-standard base runner he is.
