the announcers (shocking) are incorrect as usual. they may argue a balk if they want to, they are just subject to an ejection (like arguing anything else) if they take it too far, as is stated in the prior snip and paste from the MLBUM above. it is NOT the same as a ball/strike argument where they can't leave their position to argue by rule, which will get them dumped very quickly after being warned.
