How do they know not to call a balk.

In the real world, a balk.

In the MLB world, not a balk.

BTW-That is in no way, shape or form compared to what Mike Mussina did while in the set position....

The way I talked myself out of it was while stretching and coming to a stop above around the head his leg was continuously (well maybe not) moving or twitching to the to the set position. Once you see it once you can ignore it and obviously nobody is running on the first stop. It's a different game than the one we are calling exceopt maybe for ozzy6900.

If they're going to balk the twitching legs after F1 comes set, they better give him credit for the twitching as he's coming set. The video clearly supports the umpires' ruling of no balk there.
