Of course, I didn't have any problem with the ejection

Join the few that couldn't see the step toward home on a throw to 3b from an earlier thread.

Not even close to being the same move as the one to third.

The side angle of this move shows the step to home.

I don't think anyone said the balk we saw in that thread was for a step toward home. The balk should have been called for the pitcher showing motion toward the plate by rotating his free foot toward the plate before he threw to third.
