I didn't read too clearly, but with No runners on base, we just have a "don't do that"
If you let him do it with no runners on base, what will you do when bases are loaded and F1 goes from the windup and does the same thing.
"But Mr. Blue, I've been doing it all game and you haven't called it"
No one's saying they would call a ball in this situation, that's poor umpiring; however, if you let it happen with men on base, that's different.
So, you just tell F1, don't do that because ...
