It always seems as if the guys who use "Big" in the nom de plumes are compensating.
No matter. {Ignore List} = open {BigBuy} = insert {Ignore List} = close |

I've been criticized because I've made statements that not everybody saw the same thing as I did, or I oversimplified. Tim C did the same thing and I pointed it out, and I'm the one getting criticized. I would be happy to be consistent with everyone else. However, everyone else isn't always consistent! For example, new umpires, coaches, managers, umpires at different levels. |
I'm not a chemical engineer, but I know the smell of bad gas when I hear it!! It is impossible to balk to second base. Give it up!!

Dear Big Guy:
Let's make this easy.
Place a rujnner at second base ONLY. Now, please you give me an example of a balk to second base. Tick, tick, tick . . . Regards, |

RHP initiates the stretch and comes set, and without moving his feet separates his right hand from the glove and makes a throw to F4 covering at 2B. I have never seen it, but it would be a balk and the only balk I can think of to second base. |
Dg:
I think the example I gave above is at least somewhat along your lines.
The play as you descibed is not a balk to second base. It is a balk for failing to complete the pitch to the plate. As soon as you separated and did not pitch I call "Balk" (in FED) and penalize from there. I do not care where the ball went. Regards, |

He just balked, the rule is 8.05(d), and "he balked to 2B" is a completely accurate description of that play, as most English speaking people use and comprehend words. |
Quote:
With your logic there are no balks to any base, the pitcher did something wrong and it doesn't matter where the ball went. |
Some people are just in love with the saying, "IIITBTSB."

And some people are just in love with saying "I could have been a major league umpire."
Frankly I'll stick with IIITBTSB. Regards, |
