Exactly why I no longer send messages by catchers. I've seen this bite umpires in the arse too many times.

The first time they call a balk on the opposing pitcher, the coach goes nuts that when the umpire saw the other pitcher balked he let it go.

Maybe it's the level worked, but I find calling the balk prevents more crap than not calling it.
