Interesting. 8.05(b) says he can't feint to 3b, but 8.05(d) says he can't feint a throw to an unoccupied base, except for the purpose of making a play. Since the intent of 8.05(b) was to remove the 3rd to 1st move, with runners on 1st and 3rd, I suspect he can still feint to an unoccupied base for purpose of making a play (ie drive back a runner) on an advancing runner from 2b.
