Balk plus Ball
Impossible I thought, when answering a question about a pitch delivered when a balk was called. I was right about that but I had some free time and was perusing the OBR rule book I got from the PONY guys and there it says in 8.02 PENALTY (a)(2)-(6): (d):"..............automatic ball and, if there are any runners on base, a balk".
Very rare because it penalizes a doctored ball. But learn something new every time you sit on the john. Maybe the pre season talk about a balk for going to the mouth came from misreading this which exempts 8.01(a)(1) from this penalty. Anybody ever called this?
