One thing to note per Jim Evans and others have said on this thread. If F3 is playing way behind the bag and F1 turns and throws to the bag it is not a balk, even if F3 does not move to make a play. Obviously the throw will be wild and end up in a dugout/stands/down right field line. If you call it a balk even if F3 cannot make a play as you could penelize the offense from making an advance of 2 bases, if it does not end up in dead ball territory.
