A time when the pitch almost OUGHT to get delivered is in a non-FED game on a no-stop balk.
About twenty years ago, after calling "That's a balk!", only to see the lefty throw over to first, I immediately adjusted. Ever since, when F1 doesn't stop, I've waited to see the stride leg land toward the plate before calling the balk. By that time, the pitch is almost always getting delivered. And if he then goes to first, I've got a step balk.
