Can we simplify this a bit, so I can clarify for myself what SA is trying to say...
SA, in answering, don't refer to any previous posts or quotes of you or misquotes of you from earlier in this thread. Just answer these two questions as shortly as you possibly can.
A) 1-1, 4th inning, R1. Pitcher uses a slidestep, throws a ball. Next pitch, pitcher does not use a slidestep, throws a strike. Everything else being the same, are you calling a balk?
B) Pitcher has been throwing submarine style the entire game, a la Chad Bradford. In the 5th inning, the first pitch is an overhand screwball. Balk or no?
