I am going to answer what "I think you asked":

1) Agreed, we all understand fake to third throw to first is OK, OK?

2) Can we assume that when F1 faked to third he disengaged (it is ALMOST impossible to do this without disengaging), OK?

3) Then F1 turned back around and R1 had all ready headed for 2nd, OK

4) F1 then threw to second, OK?

Well let's see . . . if he was disengaged he could throw darn well wherever he wanted, right.

IF HE HADN'T DISENGAGED, we have a more slippery slope AND a true third world play.

So I assume you balked F1 for throwing to second which by your view was "vacant? If you did, you kicked the call because he can make that throw to retire the attempted advance of a runner,

NOW if he didn't disengage and came back around past the plate, past first base AND then to second WITHOUT interuption then it would also NOT be a balk.

So Chris, your sentance structure, typing skills and desciption are just to confusing for me to figure out WHY you'd have balked him at all.

I am certain wrong in my interpt (I am sure) but we need a little more clear description.
