What calls can you pass on?

[Tim C]

All being said (more on that a little later) I doubt seriously if I would call a balk during an intentional pass UNLESS ift was something that was obvious or was seen by all.

I am talking out of both sides of my both here:

I wouldn't call a balk on the IBB because there was no intent to deceive and there was no advantage gained,

YET,

I would call a bak if F1 dropped the ball while on the pitcher's plate and yet there is no intent to deceive and no advantage gained.

Both sides of my mouth . . . do ya like that.
