F1 moving his glove to give the signals again

So --- the lack of lights means you alter the balk rules?

I missed that at my clinic.

No I mean that the whole thing about balks is becoming anal!

It is an accepted practice at every level that an out stretched pitcher waiving his glove in a curcular motion is signaling for a new or repeat sign from the catcher. I repeat - accepted practice - not accepted rule.

When this motion is occuring, F1's focus is on the catcher and nothing else.

And umpire that calls this a balk (in my humble opinion) should never be allowed out of t-ball!!

Very sorry if I piss off some people but that's the way it is!
