This has spawned a new question, however:
What would constitute the pitcher making a play on BR?
1. The pitcher moves toward the advancing BR, yet remains within the circle. She doesn't make any throw or fakes.
2. The pitcher turns toward the advancing BR, raises her arm with the ball in hand as if to make a throw, but makes no throw nor fake.
Thanks!

As Tom has already noted, these are judgement call situations. In the first sitch, if I felt the "move" was an attempt to indicate a pending possible play, or to get a reaction out of the runner, then it is entirely possible that I would release the runner from any LBR infractions.
In your second situation, I would most likely not have the LBR in effect.
