Okay, he has stopped his motion from going home. Balk. But Mike Mussina, Hideki Nomo, Mariano Riveria actually by the rule book balk. Not called in MLB. I try not pick boogers at the lower level only if they so very obvious. Gorilla arm is a fine example from a few years ago in FED. By the wording in OBR, gorilla are should not be permitted.
Many pitchers probably break their hands before they have completely stepped of the back of the rubber before throwing to first. I've haven't really noticed that split second move, but I'm not looking at that part to begin with.
Sorry, if I offended you......bless your heart for working JUCO ball. Those games can be brutal. Double headers, oy vey! Been there, done that.
