Sorry I didn't clarify this is FED rules.... And the rule is clear that calling "time" or "using any command or commit any act for the purpose of causing a balk" means EJECTION... I understand it is one thing to know the rules and another thing to apply them so....
Let's add this situation: Runners on 2nd and 3rd, coach and R3 yell "thats a balk" pither stops or makes some movement which is a balk..... What are you calling now?

Correct...but "for the purposes of causing the pitcher to balk" and the pitcher balking are two different things aren't they?
To your post. "Time." "That's nothing." Will have a conversation with the coach about inciting a balk. On the other hand, maybe the coach was right...so maybe we have a balk...at that point, I'd probably be in the process of calling the balk an in FED, nothing can occur after a balk so we'd enforce the balk.

I agree that causing a pitcher to balk and the pitcher balking could be tow different situations.... Thats why I suggested knowing the rules and how to enforce them comes with experiance, IMO..
However, if that "balk" was the winning run in bottom of 7th you might have some visitors with a possible "good" rule discusion....
