When the catcher puts the signs down, F3 breaks toward the bag (timing play) and F1 throws the ball to him five feet away from 1B. I call a balk warning. "Coach Dad" questions the call at the time, citing his AAA experience and the fact that I did not warn the other pitcher when he did the same type of play to 3B (this made me seriously question this guy's credentials). In between innings, "Coach Dad" and his posse of five other coaches (quickly fixed that) come out and say this is a legal play. Their justification was that they had already picked off nine runners.
Any good one liners to handle situations like this?
