balk towards 2nd base

[mcrowder]

Will - not sure why you'd say the Dixie website is not helpful - it has a full copy of the rulebook on line (unlike other books).

There is NO rule in the Dixie rulebook that says the pitcher MUST pitch from the set position with runners on base.

Here's the bizarro rule regarding balks (quote this one to your next ump!) in Dixie Baseball.

8.05 - NO PENALTY: Any pitch or any action by the pitcher construed as a balk by the umpire shall be declared a no pitch. The ball is dead and no runner shall advance.

Strangely, it also DOES NOT mention that feinting a throw to 1st base without throwing is a balk. (And with no penalty, who cares if it does, except for the dead ball).

As mentioned many times, Dixie does NOT use OBR, and Dixie rules are a mess.
