Bob J. ....


Sure sounds like 'aiding and abetting' to me ...

I THINK I WOULD DO THE FOLLOWING:
If it were a JV game as soon as it happened the first time I would call "time" - then let F-1 know what he did wrong. At the inning break share the same info with the coach, and then call 'balk' from that moment forward.

Now if it were a varsity game. From pitch one untill the end of the game ... SEE A BALK - CALL A BALK ! I personally think a lot of umps are somewhat timid about calling balks. However, for those of us who are formere pitchers it's a different story. Even thought some may argue that the pitching rules need to change, they are what they are and should be enforced.

Through experience I've discovered that if you call that 'balk' the very first time it happens ... more often than not, the problem is solved for the remainder of the game. Once teams and pitchers know that you will enforce the balk rules they somehow deminish or completely dissappear.
