Gentlemen,
There is a difference between balking with a runner "on" second base and balking "to" second base.
DG, in your example the balk actually occurs because F1 did not complete the pitch. The balk occurs before the second half of the violation.
Large, when F1 turns from the set position and throws to an unoccupied second base he has actually failed to complete the pitching motion. The balk is called for failing to finish the pitch to the plate not for throwing to the unoccupied base.
Kalix is more closely attuned to the real issue. This is a definition issue more than a practical issue. I use the term to make fun of TWPs.
