Balkin' Bob

[midtnblu]

Anybody see last night's Cubs/Cards game?

In the 9th, R1, Carlos Marmol looks in to get the sign. He starts to come set (raising his upper body) and then steps off the back of the rubber(I did not see a start/stop). He did not reach the set position, he stepped off while in the act of coming set. Davidson balked him.

Sorry I don't have a clip but I don't understand the balk.

30 minutes later i was watching the Reds/Brewers game and David Weathers does the same thing----no call.


If someone has clips of these to post, please do. I would like an explanation.

Thanks.
