Balk vs Pick off

I think the guideline provides a good starting place for umpires to enforce the rule and for coaches to coach to the rule. After that, that's why we umpire.

It's not a "rule" as Leiter said. It may be an accepted interp but it is not a rule as he says in this video. That is what I was refering to in my reply.

I thought he said it was a rule...I misheard him

Why is everyone having trouble writing "45º?"

Because it's too much of a pain in the @ss to get that little circle to show.

Alt + 0 on a PC, Option + 0 on the Mac (my PC of choice).

See, too much of a pain in the @ss!

And no, Alt + 0 doesn't do it on my PC. Nothing happens. Had that worked, I would've used it.
