Well,

Pretty simple really:

If the RH Pitcher turned towards first base he then balked for failing to throw to first.

If the RH pitcher turned towards third base he then balked for failing to complete the pitch.

While it is technically true that the balk is worded for throwing to an unoccupied base the violation is really one of the two that I listed.

Do I get parting gifts?
