"And I looked, and behold a pale horse..."

I may be mistaken, but...

I was watching the Cubs-Cardinals game this evening and I'm pretty sure that I saw Bob Davidson "UN-call" a balk on Carlos Marmol that Alfonso Marquez had called.

From what I saw, it was an elephant balk.

He "sold it" to Marquez and, subsequently, to Tony LaRussa (sort of). When LaRussa went to talk to crew chief Mike Reilly about it, Reilly indicated that he would not be entertaining discussion on the subject and Tony dropped it.

Just when you thought you'd seen everything.
