Not a chance. I quoted the two members who opined that they would quietly warn a pitcher that he was balking rather than calling it. There is no mistaking that this is wrong. Maybe in your locale it acceptable but as you move up you won't see it being done. There is no justification for an umpire knowingly ignoring a rule that jeopardizes one of the teams. None.
