Balk to Second

1. The position that Tim and I and several others have taken is that it is impossible, at least 99% of the time to balk to second base. One can commit a balk while attempting a pick off at second, but nearly always that balk is technically for a different reason.

GB,

While your statement certainly reflects my position on the question, I believe that in order to reflect Tim's position you would need to "add" 1% to your first sentence and "subtract" a "nearly" from the second.
