Yes, I did a search...
I've seen this twice already this year, but nobody is calling it.
Man on first, RH pitcher leans in to get his sign and has his glove on his knee and his right hand dangling in front of him with the ball.
Do you balk this?
I don't see an advantage at all as everyone in the park knows where the ball is. I could see it if he was changing his routine, one time the balls in his glove, the next time it's in his hand, etc, that would show intent to decieve.
This was just part of his normal routine. He did the same exact thing on every pitch with runners on. In fact, he never threw over to first, not once, so he certainly did not gain an advantage.
Also, nobody said a word, so it seems to be an accepted practice.
Do you guys let this ride, or do I need to nut up and bang this as soon as I see it.
