Texas vs. Oklahoma St. Balks

I just watched a game I Tivo'd. U3, Mike Morris, called three balks, on what I can only assume to be failure to come to a stop. Watching in slow motion it looked like there were complete stops in all 3 cases, but I can only guess that Morris saw some very slight twitching or movement that the camera could not pick up.

Needless to say, the OK. State HC got tossed, after coming completely unglued at a really good force out call at 2b that Morris nailed. My question is, did anyone else see the game and was Morris nit picking those balk calls?

Hard to imagine three balk calls for not stopping in one game?

Were they all on the same pitcher? Even stranger.

But did not see the game .


Thanks
