I would think you could put an end to this by just having the pitcher run right at the runner. This is a standard move taught to players to make a runner caught in between bases to go one way or the other. When he decides, chase him back and the throw and tag him out.
That will happen once usually before it stops due to the runner being put out.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
