The stranger claims:
"I strongly feel I have not lied. I said, quite clearly, that those sources do not say that a balk cannot be called during a dead ball. That's not a lie."
This is getting as good as trying to figure out what the meaning word "is", is.
Now I know you're not Jim Porter.
How about this:
"J/R does not say a balk cannot be called during a dead ball. Their book agrees with me."
In fact, J/R does not address the issue. To state that they agree with you would be accurate only if you didn't address the issue. Instead you have stated that "their book agrees with you. That, stranger, is a lie.
"JEA does not say a balk cannot be called during a dead ball. His book agrees with me.
Oops, there's another one.
So, you don't feel you have lied. I'm sorry. Perhaps I mistated the facts. You merely misrepresented something to the point where what you said is simply not true.
I care less that you insist on calling balks during a deadball. I care less that have decided to go against years of baseball practice. I care less that you disagree with me or the anyone on this.
I am deeply disappointed that you have lied to attempt to buttress your position and offended that you now attempt to make light of it and blame it on others.
Be a man, stranger, admit your mistake and move on with life. The real Jim Porter would.
