bisonpitcher,

You had me right up until...

...I did say that if the pitcher either R or L handed wheeled inside without throwing that i would balk him for not making a play on the runner. ...

I believe this would be legal as well.

If the runner is attempting to advance to 2b (umpire judgement), the F1 is perfectly legal in executing a "feint" to the "unoccupied base" that the R1 is attempting to advance to. As long as he does so "without interruption or alteration".
