Why wait for two balks that you don't call and then call it on the third.

I don't know Mr. Yeast, but I would think that he as I cringed when he saw this call.

I read what the umpire in chief said in the paper, and it was a simple rule quote to back his partner.

The look on his face when he saw the balk called made all the difference.

Then U2 the UIC got stuck having to explain it to the coach. What would you expect him to say, he missed the call?

No by rule it was a good call. But as far as the game, it was a poor call in a very very good baseball game.

Thanks

You mentioned in your earlier post, David, that F1 had 2 previous pitches where he apparently did not come to a good stop...........

Sounds like the crew chief missed the balk on 3 of the 4 pitches made........but, of course, supports his partner for making the call

Politically correct?????? (Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh)


Just my opinion,
