iiitbtsbibs (is bs)
If you flinch with a runner on first, is that a balk to first? Who cares, he flinched. It could have been a flinch to the plate. But WHO CARES.
If you don't step directly to first, is that a balk to first or the batter? Who are you trying to deceive? First base runner right?
If you flinch with a runner on second, is that a balk to second? Who cares, he flinched. It could have been a flinch to the plate. But WHO CARES.
If there is a runner on second and you balk, are you trying to deceive the batter? No, the runner. That is what a balk is...the deception of a runner. So you do anything that is a balk with a runner on second...it is a balk to second.
So get rid of iiitbtsb and start saying iiptbtsb and be a real umpire. Stand behind what you call panzies. I would love to be umping with you when you have a lone runner on second, and call a balk, but say it was a balk to the batter, because the pitcher can't balk to second (and I am not talking about dropping the ball while on the rubber scenario).
