The 2010 balk thread

[jicecone]

Exactly the scenario I experienced last night. Top of 5, 14-0 , team brings in 4th pitcher of the night. I am near the mound for the final warmups and notice that the pitcher has blown through every stop in the set position. I let him know he has two pitches remaining and that I recommend he make sure and come set when he starts pitching. It saved me from having to throw salt on an open wound and shortened our 2-15min, 5 inning mercy rule game by 1 min. I was also able to go back to sleep.

Final score 17-0.
