They have been calling balk like crazy this season, and I guess I'm just confused on the issue. My understanding is that the pitcher must pitch from the stretch when there are baserunners, and once he is set, he must pitch or throw to a base, unless he steps off the rubber, in which case he can fake a throw... Now if this is wrong, I'm even more confused....

If, as reported, Dixie uses OBR, then this is wrong. If they've made up their own pitching regulations you could be right. But if they've tinkered with the rules that much, they should stop advertising that they use OBR.
