As you know, Bob, this is a bit of a red herring: it all depends on what you mean by "time of the throw." These moves begin with F1 in contact and end with a throw (or legal feint, I suppose -- LHP doing the move to 3B may feint) to a base.
When addressing coaches and small children, I prefer to keep it simple: did he step off first or not? 2 bases or 1, accordingly.
