You are exaxtly right. His pitch to the plate when it finally arrived was in the dirt and nearly uncatchable by the catcher. If that is what his coach wants him to do to " fool " the runner, I would think the offense would love it. I did, unfortunately, call the balk, because I was also fooled by it. Won't happen again. Guaranteed.
Thanks for your input.
