Cool

Tim,

Once when I was writing an article on (non-) balks, I asked Carl Childress a similar question. His response was along the lines of (paraphrasing here...)

"Well, it is, but it isn't (a balk under FED rules). I've never called it & I've never seen it called. It's kind of a 'faux' balk."

With consideration to the caveats offered by justanotherblue, I wouldn't call it either.

JM
