You didn't ask for a reference. And why would you EVER believe a TV announcer. The only people more ignorant of baseball rules are the people sitting in the bleachers behind the plate. The NAPBL/PBUC interp is all you need.

The reason for this interpretation is the same as the reason that you can't fake to first. It would be too easy to keep a runner close if the pitcher didn't actually have to throw to first base. F1 could simply throw to F3 playing in front of the bag or behind the bag without F3 even being in position to receive a throw and make a play.
