Marty:
I am going to make one more legitimate attempt to bring you to the dark side, OK!
F1 (Righthander) is in the set position with R2 (only - for this example).
F6 and F4 are darting "in and out" trying to hold R2 close to the base.
His lead grows.
F1 turns to throw to second and finds the base uncovered so he does not throw at all (on this example I don't care where he steps). No balk, correct?
Same situation:
F1 turns to throw to second to second. Finds "no one home" so he throws to F6 who is in his "normal" position not near the base. The step is directly towards F6 and NOT the base. No balk, correct -- he didn't even have to throw the ball so why would it be a balk.
Slightly different situation:
R2 and R3. Infield in -- in fact F6 is standing next to R2 on the third base side of R2. He is even with him.
F1 steps 1/2 way betwix F6 and the base at third and fires to F6 who applies a tag to "napping" R2. No balk, correct? I mean there is a play (that is important).
So Marty, crazy as you may consider me . . . or getting over a bout of binge drinking that is the logic taken by the people on "my side" of this issue.
Now unlike you, I will allow you the respect of what you call and only laugh at the ISSUE in my mind when it occurs.
Last, if my profile is actual of interest to you or anyone I certainly will update it if necessary.
