Fred,
Thanks for the clarification. Since a balk was called, the ump(s) must have already determined that the "fake" (by the runner) was completed and the throw was in fact to an unoccupied base. I still contend that F1 needs to determine whether R2 is running, faking or returning . . . before making a throw or a feint anywhere. In this case, he was too quick on the draw and was penalized accordingly.
