Patrick, you MUST call it.Consistency is what the FEDS want, thats is all. Plus, they want to simplify umpire judgement, that is obvious.AND, it is considered unsportsmanlike to "deke" in FED ball(safety issue, I guess). Do you think I enjoy balking a F1 for turning his shoulder in the dstretch? Hell no! This is a chicken poop play as well, BUT that is the way it is! Why bust our brain with TOP, for example, if we not gonna call it! I had a problem with a coach a few years ago that pitched a bitch about consistency in the "calling" of FED rules, guy was right. Can you see the light????

Uhh, Chris, Your balk example is unrelated. Please reread the situation. The situation FED presented was as follows:
- A batter hits a fair grounder.
- A fielder yells "I got it!".
I don't care if that's coming from the right fielder. It ain't obstruction.

Your telling me to reread? Patrick, the F6 is acting as if it is a pop-up!!!!! The reference to the balk was to show that I do not agree with the FEDs all the time, but, BUBBA, THAT is the way it is.
