Didn't you just answer your own question?

I don't think I did.
Carl:
I think your scenario 2 is different than what happened in Roper's game. In yours, the defense is trying to game you to gain an advantage. You can't let them do that.
In Roper's, the PU was doing this as a FYC. It was a men's league game, F5 was fooling around and threw only one pitch doing an imitation someone, then the real F1 came out. Think disadvantage/advantage. It didn't hurt anyone. If you feel like it, take one pitch off of the real F1's warmup.

Exactly. And a good FYC is subtle, yet clearly gets the message across. Roper's umpire just looks like an a$$hole.
