This rule may have changed recently, but you wouldn't see it invoked much, since pitchers don't make balkish moves with no runners on. Following this scenario, a pitcher might make 27 false moves to the plate, and 27 pick-off plays to first. Of course this is not real man's baseball, but the last real man who pitched was Old Hoss Radbourn in 1886.
