How about you Roger? You have the skill and temperment of one who has to decipher and rule on evidence. Can you help me out here?

I think he was asking: "Since it's a balk to 'make a motion associated with the pitch,' do you call a balk when the pitcher turns his shoulders to look at the runner (before coming set)?"

My reply: A pitcher turns his shoulders to pitch, yes, but that doesn't mean every turn of the shoulders is a "motion associated with the pitch."

I'm not sure how the question fits with the questin that started this thread (Q: Must a feint include a step? -- A: Yes, in all codes, either explicitly or by interpretation)
