I missed a balk a few games ago. The pitcher was being scouted by about a half dozen teams - he had already signed to play in South Carolina next year and was a bit of a head case. He was off and rocked early. While trying to disengage and look at first, his spikes caught and he was hung up for more than it took to call the infraction. It bothered me more to not call that than any coach chewing on me ever could. It was a split second and I'm 60+ feet away but it should have been done. We only get one shot and knowing that doesn't make it easier. Stewing on it will make me better and ready for the next time. Split seconds are all we have.
