EDIT: FIXED !!!!!!!

The camera angle could make it look worse than it is. From this angle, it does appear he goes too far toward HP for me. Plus, he does have a wide stance already and looks could be deceiving. But, I have a balk from this angle. Too bad we don't get a look from HP or 1B to get a better look.

Upon watching it several times, it is closer than I originally thought. But, I still think so from this angle. It is always tough to draw a line of how far is too far. Plus, R1 went on first movement so there may be more leniency since he wasn't fooled by any move to be picked off.

Thanks ...I thought it was sort of "iffy" as well ...... What I noticed was his lead foot...looks really close to crossing the front of the rubber ....

It has to go behind the back edge of the rubber. Front edge means nothing.
