That was translated into: It Is Impossible To Balk To Second Base.

That's what the poster meant. He didn't balk on his move to second: IIITBTSB. As Tim said: He started a pitch, stopped a pitch, and that IS a balk.

Sorry Papa C, thought it was Tim C who originated the theory. Maybe I got the C's mixed up.
