--Yeah, I knew mine wasnt a balk. The catcher did not come out in front of the plate. As the pitch was coming in, he rose up over the lefthanded batters box and received the pitch, ala a pitchout.
He then came back across, dropped down in front of the plate and nailed the runner coming from third. A righteous play.
Offensive coach was just looking for something, because his play backfired. So he started screaming catchers balk. I knew it wasnt, or even close.
Just got me to wondering if anyone had called it and why, or if not, when would they. To me, on something like that, it would have to be pretty blatant and egregious.
