There is only a penalty listed in this years book for e, which is an illegal pitch.

So yes very confusing.

8.05 calls it an illegal pitch for majors/minors with runners on for any "balk" violation. It further calls (e) and (g), the true IPs, a ball without runners for majors/minors.
It is confusing and was a change in the wording a year or two or three ago. Before that we did not call "balks" in majors/minors other than the true IPs.
