Tim,
When I spoke to the BU, he said he balked him because he stepped onto the rubber with his hands in the set position (the main reason I posted this was because when the pitcher did this, the ball was dead). When I put the ball in play, he cited the fact that the pitcher must come set on the rubber. He was watching this closely, because as soon as I pointed to put the ball in play, he called out, "that's a balk!" Like I said, I have never seen this before!
