Worst rule in baseball...

The step balk.

Called against the Padres tonight when the left handed pitcher threw to first. Incredibly subjective rule that is rarely called by umpires because it leads to fifteen minute arguments. It is never called in a World Series for a reason. In my opinion, do away with all step balks and if the runners can't adjust, that is their problem.
