Balks

The one thing I've learned/noticed about balks in my 25+ years of calling baseball.

If a pitcher balks, (don't sweat it too much), he'll do the exact same thing again in a few pitches.

So if I miss one the first time, just wait and watch, he'll do it again and I can get him the next time.

Thanks
