I guess I don't get some of this still.  Not an easy out nor obvious in this play.  He was safe sans the block of the base.  I suppose that is I why I would expect the runner to not give up.  I agree in an obvious situation, no reason to be overly aggressive to the bag. 

 

On edit:  I'm probably picking nits.  Nothing to see here..  Feel free to move on. :)

 

Blocking is legal if the fielder has the ball - as he does in the picture. Why is this difficult?

 

It's not difficult and that's not the discussion.  Discussion is what is reasonable action by offense to handle a defense that is blocking bases legally.

Base isn't completely blocked in that photo. Just the part the runner is attempting to touch. The other half, or more, of the bag is open. Timing, timing, timing. He's out! I wouldn't find any MC for

I'm pretty sure his shoelace was on touching the base.
