I am aware of this. But the ball was live. I took it out of my bag and threw it. This is covered somewhere in the J/R manual.

"Throwing the ball to the pitcher" doesn't make it live. The ball never became live in your example, so it couldn't be a balk.

If he makes a motion associated with a pitch and it turns out he's not on the rubber, it's a balk. I don't need to see the pitcher's plate to know he's on it -- or not.

That makes no sense. If we are assuming that F1 is on the rubber, then what is the point of having the BU in B or C with runners on base. If the BU dosen't have to check where F1's foot is, he might as well set up on the outfield grass. This would give him a better shot at getting the out/safe calls right on the bases. [/B][/QUOTE]
Setting up on the inside lets BU move to the working area so he can then move to get an angle, and some distance, toward any play on the bases.
