To me, and this is just subjective, it looked like Fielder was hoping to make contact to get an obstruction call. When the defensive player got out of the way, Fielder appeared to push off against...

Quoting from the write-up:
So the coach had yelled "You're lazy!" to the umpire during the game as well.

Except for when R3 is the runner stealing (OBR 7.07), I cannot find the justification for the bolded statement.

Ground Rule Double
I'm not sure those cases are parallel. A batted ball going through a gap is a mandated 2-base award. No umpire judgment in placing anybody. Also, "just keep running" is probably bad advice to a coach...

My point is that with less than 2 outs, R3 is going to be tagging up on a fly to the outfield. Whether the ball is caught or trapped, the fielder will have the ball in possession, and R3 will have to...
