Sure enough with bases loaded, he takes 2 rocker steps and I balk it. Catcher thought I was talking about when the pitcher is in the set position when I mentioned it earlier.
My question is: did I correctly not call anything with nobody on base? Should this have been an illegal pitch and a ball?

When they are doing something screwy in whatever code don't call it until you can balk a run in. E.g. Japanese windup, leave it alone all game long until you can balk R3 in.
