​Why do you want to punish the offense for the defense's mistake? Also, did you forget that If a balk is immediately followed by a wild throw by the pitcher to a base that permits a runner or runners to advance, then you just protect those runners to the base they would have been awarded by the balk.

I feel like Ump-Attire now just wants the money without putting in the work anymore. Done with them. WILL NOT USE any longer.

Can someone please explain the "field test" to me. I goy in by going to camps. Spending big dollars lining the assignors pockets...

“It is a balk if a pitcher does not have the ball but assists in a try to deceive a runner by being on or astride the rubber, [8.05 Approved Ruling-a]feigning a pitching position or pitch [8.05i], orputting the rosin bag in his glove to make it appear he has the ball. If you watch closely, his right hand is fake tying his shoe. It is clearly visible that the rosin bag is in the glove.

That's a Balk. Can't put the rosin bag in your glove to deceive a runner

The Southern Camp in Atlanta in February is a great camp to attend as well. Eventhough you are forced to for postseason consideration I am not a big fan of the KHSAA camp at all.

They run a touch narrow and have done nothing but hurt my feet. My retired Gerry Davis plate shoes were more comfortable

They are turrible

There is a longer video out there to show the whole thing breaking down. 1. Why is the plate umpire's hat backwards? 2. Why are they exiting through that gate? Was there no gate on the other side to lead them to their changing area? 3. I know the base umpire is hanging by the gate because his partner has been cornered by another coach but really? Go get him and get out of there. 4. How are those coaches holding you up as an umpire? If they won't let you leave, postgame eject them. ESPECIALLY if they are assistant coaches. 5. That momma is wrong, it is clear as day that the punch connected. It only grazed but it did connect with the antagonizing umpire.

Obstruction on fielder, keep him at 3rd as I deem he would have been at 3rd without the obstruction much like he did even with it.
