I really appreciate the feedback, even the harsh
The tough part with the whole balk call is that it is a call that can't really be questioned, it is a judgement call. The individuals in this case didn't want to hear about the wording in the rules, it was the unwritten part that applied.
I had another balk call where the Ump said it was a balk because the pitcher turned the wrong direction on a move to second. Said it had to be counter clockwise, that you couldn't turn clockwise.
After the inning we discussed it and he acknowledge that he may have been in error.
I have lurked here for a long time and can almost always find what I need with a search, but I need help with the unwritten stuff.
