Had a similar, perhaps even more bizarre one, this weekend. R3, pitcher going from windup. Had a very deliberate, slow delivery most of the game in windup, but decides to go faster for once. 3B Coach yells "balk". After pitch (which, karma, was a strike), I tell coach "It's not a balk and do NOT use that word, that is reserved for us - ESPECIALLY during a live ball". The coach said "but he sped up his delivery, he can't do that!". It was so absurd that I think he realized it himself, as after he said it his voice just kind of tailed off and he mumbled for a few seconds, then never spoke of it again.
