I agree that he should have let the catcher clear. This mechanic was true even before they made the video so I am not sure what being an early video had to do with it.
Maybe I missed the balk there but, I tend to believe the phantom balk, was what got the official in hot water to begin with. HTBT probably. The video did point out how not to handle a situtation though.
Good job on pointing out that BU's should keep there mouths tight unless, 100% sure of a foul off the batter.
