On topic, there might be a verbal element with a fake tag.

A fake tag is always obstruction.

PDad ... With verbals like? : " here comes the ball, I'm gonna tag you " " throw it here, throw it here " " gotcha " ? ... Yeah, I can see that without the ball coming or a fake tag actually being made ... Possibly causing a runner to check up and return to the previous base ...

No, not really since the definition of a fake tag requires the defender to attempt to tag the runner
