Are you calling a Balk?

No wonder you get all the big games. If anyone can put third graders in their place, it's you.

So true, I put you in your place all the time. Oh, sorry for the insult third graders.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but as I read this thread it seems like we have forgotten the 2 type of balk calls. There used to be a standard of practice:

FED - Immediately dead ball - "TIME! That's a balk!" nothing else can happen.

NCAA & OBR - Delayed - "That's a balk!" then get back into position in case action continues.

From this thread, it seems that many are running in different directions on the balk call.

Oh, and once the little tykes get on the big diamond, balks are called - no warnings..... that's called baseball. (yes, I am fully aware that there are some small diamond leagues that call balks - no need to remind us.)

Your attempt at comedy is like your underwear.

Added to the thread by really discussing the issue.

telling others in such a diverse manner that they're idiots for not having your vast superior knowledge.

You are one dumb somb*tch, ya know? Friggin hypocrite, you need to STFU.

Hypocrite? Not quite at your level yet.

Some just can't handle it when someone else throws the ball back in their court.

I think it's a shame that you and a few others have to come to an umpire chat room to get some sort of self glorification. Cyber bullying is sooooo junior highish.
