Well,
All being said (more on that a little later) I doubt seriously if I would call a balk during an intentional pass UNLESS ift was something that was obvious or was seen by all.
I am talking out of both sides of my both here:
I wouldn't call a balk on the IBB because there was no intent to deceive and there was no advantage gained,
YET,
I would call a bak if F1 dropped the ball while on the pitcher's plate and yet there is no intent to deceive and no advantage gained.
Both sides of my mouth . . . do ya like that.
