Of course, it's probably important to point out exactly what rule we're talking about. That way, I haven't confused anyone or been misunderstood.
8.05(b) The pitcher, while touching his plate, feints a throw to first base and fails to complete the throw.
He's not allowed to feint a throw to first. The word, "feint," is carefully chosen in the rule. It basically means, "a mock attack."
While all of that is interesting for us, it just boils down to, "Skip, he's got to throw to the base at first."
