"the chickanery happened during dead ball but the balk wasn't called until the ball was put in play."

The ball could not have LEGALLY been put in play under the cirumstances and when the umpire sees that the pitcher did not have the ball in possession when he took the rubber he has to rule the ball is still dead.
