Does anybody have a clip of the Braves/Phillies last night (Monday) Prado bobbled a ball that was thrown to him for a force out at 2B and the runner was correctly called safe by the 2BU...I wanted to send this to our umpires to show how good his timing was in order to get that call correct. Please PM me if you find it.

My 11 year old son saw him and said, wow, that is a balk!
Yawn.

Of all the things amateur umpires can learn about umpiring from watching MLB, balks is (are?) not one of them.

JW - go back to pitching for the Mariners. Neither of these are balks. You find one, feel free to post it... but neither of these are balks.

Somebody alert that guy
Iitbtsb!

There was a better balk call on the classic feint to 3B, then feint to 1B. Not sure now if it was on FOX or TBS or the teams.
