Use it in my umpire training every year. My son is playing ball now, and we've had three balks called with R2 this season, and none of them were actual balks.
The umpires could have used my training.
The main problem with umpires today is they don't study the rules, they just go by what they "feel" or something.
Last night in a game I had "interference with fielder fielding a batted ball" and BI on play at the plate. Sadly most of the umpires I see today would probably not have called either one.
Thanks
