Thanks
Thanks Garth. I thought of that as I was calling the game. Then I noticed a couple of runners start and stop when the movement was going on. I called a balk and the movement stopped.

I agree that he should not have gone out, but he should have at least made a signal. U2 later said, "If this was a big game, I would have gone out on that ball."

...the best way to get a rule changed that you don't agree with is to call it by the letter of the law. It won't take long before people are complaining about the rule and it will get changed.
