Try not to call many of them, nobody sees them but you. Like I say, just a coach that came up with the most novel invention in the last century of baseball. Dumbutt trying to use an imaginary line. That kid would have to throw a perfect game. LIGHT THE TORCH FOR BALKFEST '05

Well, I thought it was explained well enough 3 times. While in contact with his plate, the pitcher failed to step towards first base when throwing there. Balk NCAA, Fed, OBR, Jewish Defense League, Old Mother Hubbard Association, anywhere. It had nothing to do with disengaging or stepping back.
Funny how I can picture exactly what Bob was saying, but you are having a hard time with it. Is it any clearer now?
I feel like an optometrist, better, worse, or about the same?
