Obs/int

R1 on 1B, stealing on the release of the pitch. R1 collides with F3 before the ball is hit down the 1B line. The collision clearly prevents the fielder from fielding a batted ball. OBS or INT?

I know we don't discuss the other sport here, but any comments about the last night's call (besides A-Rod's an idiot)?

R1 on 2B, off on the pitch, collides with F6 before the ball is hit directly at F6. What's the call?
