It should read "If no runners are on base it's an automatic ball, and if there are runners on base it is a balk." It is a mistake in the new rule. The old rule called for a warning, a ball, and announcement. Now the rule is automatic ejection and suspension. It is only a ball or balk if the offense elects not to take the result of the play. If they do take the play, play on McDuff but the pitcher still gets tossed.
