I got a balk here. You should not only consider his foot. his upper body was certainly going home (albeuit slightly) before he changed his mind and picked off to 1st. It was not huge but it was a balk. I can't remember the last time I saw a big league coach come out and discuss a possible balk. Madden would not have come out if there was not something to it. He certainly had a better angle than Welke. Danley should have made the call but we know they just don't call balks in the bigs. Danley can be forgiven. when you only see a balk once in a blue moon you can be forgiven for not recognizing one when it does happen.
