That I why I emphasized that it is legal provided that he's off the mound. In my post I did not specify what kind of violation it was, so please don't correct me for an error I did not make.

Remember all, in OBR, it is not a balk or illegal pitch for a pitcher to bring his hand to his mouth.
You then wrote:
As long as he's off the mound.
That makes it sound to me like you were saying it could be either of the two if he were on the mound. Even if he is on the mound or on the rubber, it is neither a balk nor an illegal pitch in OBR if he brings his hand to his mouth. It is always a ball to the batter.
Do we agree on that?
