Excuse me?

You allow, in FED, FI, IN CONTACT with the rubber, to throw to first without stepping off or stepping to the base?

I know your sympathies lie with the pitcher, but, c'mon.

FED 6-4-2

If there is a runner or runners, any of the following acts by a pitcher while he is touching the pitching plate, is a balk:

(b) failing to step with the non-pivot footdirectly toward a base (occupied or unoccupied) when throwing or feinting there in an attempt to put out, or drive back a runner....

You may consider me wrong in three states. I'm convinced you're wrong in 48.

Wow.

Garth:

What does this play have to do with the original play? Of course the play you just described in the post that I am quoting is this post is a balk, but has nothing to do with the play in my original post to start this thread. Your new play has nothing to do with the original play.
