Double set position for the pitcher?

He stopped, then "rolled through" a second stop? Pitchers do that all the time. It's called a "pitch" or "delivery".

When we let them get away with a "double" stop, being that we see a wiggle or whatever at the top, we should enforce the stop at the bottom. When pitchers do this with R1 they will try to cheat at the bottom. With R2 they don't cheat.
But, I'm amazed that a coach has never sent a runner at the top stop and pushed the issue.

So three umpires and the entire opposing team didn't notice it or care. Right? So just maybe it's not a balk.

Come on, Rich! You know that you can see everything better from the stands, don't you?
