Coach: You called BALK!
BU: Oh you heard that, heh?

I really haven't seen that, as I recall.
What I have seen.......is the ball go to right, and (everybody thinking the ball is dead) seen F9 or F3 just mope their way after the ball
with R1 stopping at 2nd base.
He could have probably made it to home if he cared to....just by trotting instead of running hard.
Too many out there playing the game are just clueless.
Usually they are just as ignorant of rules whether on offense or defense.
Just my opinion,
