The art of deception is second only to the art of mis-direction. It is obvious you have mastered both.

Facts are facts Jim:

"J/R does not say a balk cannot be called during a dead ball. Their book agrees with me."

Jim Porter, or someone signing his name

"JEA does not say a balk cannot be called during a dead ball. His book agrees with me."

Jim Porter, or someone signing his name.

"There is no history to call a balk during a deadball. There is no ruling to call a balk during a deadball. There is no rule to call a balk during a deadball There is no practice, outside of Little League, to call a balk during a deadball."

GB

"There is no place in baseball...I repeat NO PLACE IN BASEBALL that you can cite for calling a balk during a deadball. None, nada, doesn't exist, nowhere, no how."

Now then, Jim, or whoever you are, which two of the above statements claim written support for one's position?

The first two quotes untruthfully claim that two books support a position.

The second two quotes state that there is no support in any of the listed materials or sources to support a position.

The second two quotes are true.

The first two are not.

Maybe on the stage you can escape into your fantasy world, but this is the real world. Joke all you want. Act like a three year old all you want. Try mis-direction, acting cute, deception, acts of innocence...anything you want. Facts are facts.

Here's another. You won't have to worry about me posting in reponse to you ever again. I do not deal with people who cannot be trusted.
