MLB umpire says that you can balk with a dead ball!

So, following a batting out of order situation F1 balks while attempting a pickoff at 1B. Jim Porter then upholds the defense's appeal of batting out of order because a balk is not a play.

I think you'd lose your protest and learn that a balk is a play.


Just my opinion,

Freix,

You know, if you spent more time discussing the topic at hand rather than searching for the tiniest details to nitpick in another's post, you might actually be likeable.

"Except for the purposes of APPEALS, a balk is not a play."

Better?

Holy cow, you're a pill.
