Got any rules basis to back up your assertion?

He does not... because there aren't any.

This can be obstruction, if it alters the runner's path.

If F4 decoys catching a ground ball, that's nothing.

If F6 comes across the bag in a decoy and forces R1 to slide, I'm likely calling obstruction.

This is going to depend upon the rule set.

I agree with Rich... not sure I agree with Welpe... in which ruleset would this be different?

I would think OBR since Jeter gets away with it.

OBR has the same rules...

That said, there are many instances where MLB interprets OBR differently than anyone else. Collisions at the plate (until recently) for example.

I don't understand the distinction between the two.
