But I have never seen an umpire call a balk, then his partner from another position change a call. I could be wrong, but I have never seen it happen. I am sure it has happen, but what happen to thoses that changed it?

Last year, BU calls balk and tells coach, loud enough for PU to hear, "Didn't come set." Well he was in the middle of a pick-off move at the time, so PU goes out and they chat. BU then changes his call. No problems the rest of the game.




OK, this is a rules situation. I can agree with your changing the call there. But if we are working a HS playoff game and I call a balk because the pitcher did not come to a discernable stop and you come to me and tell me, "he stopped," you will not have to worry about the coach. I can guarantee you that.


You have apparently confused "a judgment call" with "every judgment call".
