Because when you in B or C if you look you can see it

How do you know that the "signs F1 is taking off the rubber are the real signs?

Because after I've seen it, F1 steps up and pitches the ball with no further signs from the catcher


How do you know that when F1 steps on the rubber another sign or set of signs is not being given?

See answer #2

The answer is you don't know. And that is the answer that I give to the complaining coach!

The answer is I do know, and I have NEVER had a complaning coach because they don't have a clue and damn sure can't see it! Only in B or C can you see it, and ONLY if your looking for it. You shouldn't be looking for it because it only causes trouble for yourself.

As long as F1 does not step on the rubber and into to a quick pitch, he is not violating anything. OBR and NCAA is a "don't do that". FED says balk but as was previously stated, the pitching restrictions don't start until F1 intentionally contacts the rubber so there cannot be a balk.

This is FEDlandia.... they say it's a balk, obviously you nor I agree with this, just as I believe most would and should ignore it. It's a rule to get your a$$ in trouble!

Yes, but for the sake of stiring the $hit pot, this IS a very VERY stupid FED rule, Why, as I stated before, because there is/was someone on the FED rules committee who doesn't understand pitching or baseball!!.. Now that I have your dander up.... will I ever call it... NO, why..BECAUSE IT IS A RULE THAT ONLY CAUSES $HIT. It's a poor rule and as you stated, if he isn't quick pitching who really cares. NOT ME!!

Most important, go back and read my first 5 lines of this post!
