I was thinking one thing but saying another . . . by "stepping off with the wrong foot", I meant that everyone in the ballpark knows F1 has no intention of throwing anywhere; simply disengaging because he inadvertently was in the Windup position. Not even looking or considering an attempted pickoff. His coach, his teammates, his Aunt Mabel in the stands and his Kindergarden teacher who's watching the game are all yelling, "Step off; step off; you've gotta go to the Set position!!!" THAT'S when only a rookie ump and uninformed coach would call or want a "balk".
