I'm not sure what you're talking about. I have never EVER seen an umpire call a balk on the move. So I'm not sure where you think the call was done inconsistently.
Well, maybe untrained umpires in youth ball have a problem with it. But there has never been any inconsistency with MLB umpires, in my mind, because they never call anything.
