Wrong. He is disengaged and is now an infielder. Infielders are not regulated by the pitching rules.

Funny for someone with so much experience...the MLB rule comment tells you directly that this is a balk.

it has been posted several times on here but here is exactly what it says...
with runners on first and third, the pitcher, while in contact with the rubber, steps toward third and then immediately and in practically the same motion “wheels” and throws to first base, it is obviously an attempt to deceive the runner at first base, and in such a move it is practically impossible to step directly toward first base before the throw to first base, and such a move shall be called a balk Not that you will still be able to read it correctly so I don't know why I bother. |

8.05 If there is a runner, or runners, it is a balk when—
(c) The pitcher, while touching his plate, fails to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base; Comment: It is possible, with runners on first and third, for the pitcher to step toward third and not throw, merely to bluff the runner back to third; then seeing the runner on first start for second, turn and step toward and throw to first base. This is legal. However, if, with runners on first and third, the pitcher, while in contact with the rubber, steps toward third and the immediately and in practically the same motion “wheels” and throws to first base, it is obviously an attempt to deceive the runner at first base, and in such a move it is practically impossible to step directly toward first base before the throw to first base, and such a move shall be called a balk. Of course, if the pitcher steps off the rubber and then makes such a move, it is not a balk. I didn't think you would quote the entire rule or the comment. RIF |

You know, people can be enlightened if they are simply ignorant of a rule and willing to listen. But there is no fixing stupid.

There you go again, trying to use the words from the rulebook to support your decision!

I'm only going to address this.
Be careful.

You sure do have a knack for having interpretations that are...well...contrary to everyone's....and I see it isn't regulated to just one sport.

As you say the rule is being changed so yours and our points are going to be moot. The only thing that might matter is your credibility on this board, which has taken a big hit is the eyes of all us know-nothings. |

He is well-learned in making up his own rules. I forgot he was the contrarian in the "LGP under the basket" discussion.

As far as LGP in basketball under the basket...I am not the only one to hold that viewpoint either and hence have not changed my opinion based on the disagreement of some forum members. Good thing that came out of this is I was able to waste a good chunk of a boring day at work debating for $30+ an hour...I'll chalk that up as productive day. |

You going to take this literally? Sounds like maybe you need time with the rule book instead of in it. You are wrong concerning your opinion regarding this matter. I look forward to your other interpretations. |
