Balkin' Bob

[UmpJM]

midtnblu,

After getting his signs, Marmol started to move his right arm, stopped, and then disengaged. Davidson balked him. It was a balk.

Good call. I didn't see it in live action, but it was obvious on the replay.

I've seen that called by multiple MLB umpires. An easy balk call.

mdnblu,

Just watching the game tonight and Ted Lilly had a balk called on him.

In "live action", I naturally presumed that "Balkin' Bob" had called it. It appears that it was actually Mike Reilly (U3) who called him on an 8.05(c) violation. Looked like another good call to me.

(Edited to add...)

Upon further review, it was Davidson who called the balk. Davidson was U3 and Reilly was U1.
