I'm not sure about Dixie, Dan. LL say that as long as a runner is "legitimately" off of his base the pitcher cannot stop him by returning the ball to the rubber. This leaves it to our judgment as to whether the runner is legitimately making an attempt to advance, or just stalling to bait a bad throw. If it's the latter of the two I would return the runner, or he'd be at risk of a 7.13 violation.
