I'm interested in learning more about the call he earlier praised and used on the website.
Was it one merely highlighting pitcher movement, or was it also in a situation where no advantage could be gained?

There was R1 and the balk was called by U3 who was in C. The batter hit the ball, which was caught by F7.

Hmmmm........sounds like there was potential of an advantage to be gained over a possibility of R1 stealing.......
In the game under discussion, there's little chance R3 was stealing home or R1 stealing 1B (especially with the pitch being ball four of an intentional walk which would have forced R1 to 2B).
Sounds like the official in the example used by Yeast understood advantage/disadvantage of the technical rule.
Just a point,
