What's the call?

[JJ]

If YOU thought that bringing his hands up was deceiving the runner, then you made the right call balking him. It's like a pitch that gets thrown behind a batter; if YOU think it was a message pitch based on what's been going on in the game, then odds are so did others, and a warning would be in order, if for no other reason than to head off future problems. It's what YOU think that counts here, and it's better to err on the side of prevention.
