Going to your mouth is not a balk. He didn't mention anything about wiping his hand.

Case play 6.1.3 Situation O. I don't get why people, especially Rita who's been presented this case play multiple times, are still arguing that it's not a balk. If the pitcher is engaged with the pitching plate and goes to his mouth with runners on, it most certainly is. The case play defines that result.

You, on the other hand, are simply trolling.

Only if the pitcher stops his motion to come to a stop/set position.

How can he go to his mouth and not interupt coming set? Even you cannot be this obtuse....

Brother, Group ~

Rita is contending that it's not a balk in OBR. I'm sure she understands now that it's a balk in FED.......................

Was the part about continuous motion too confusing for you?

No part of it. I get it. You said that going to the mouth with runners on is only a balk if he stops his motion to come set. My point to you, which you obviously missed, was that you're stating the obvious for no reason. Because a pitcher OBVIOUSLY cannot go to his mouth and NOT interupt his motion to come set.
