Speaking as a MLB fan only... that is, I really haven't a clue whether or not the balk call was correct (think of those guys in the beer commercial from last year!), but two things:

1. It will be interesting to see what MLB does to discipline Perez for his on-field and, especially, is off-field to the media comments. He directly and publicly called the umpire a cheat.

2. The Nats have sent video to the league for a ruling on whether it was a balk. It will be interesting to see if the league throws the umpire under the bus or backs his call (or something in between).
