The rule you are looking for is G25C.

If you are not contacting the BATTER, you can block away. You need to read the rules if you are going to lawyer them.

I don't see it as an effective strategy since you are not stopping scoring and effectively forcing your alliance to play a robot down. You would also be open to end game fouls if you stayed there for the duration.
