Thank you. Thanks for helping a lazy brotha out. Today anyway! I've been spending a lot of Time in the rulebook lately and just wanted a small break.

If you are using OBR, tell him by rule if a pitcher pitches the ball on a balk call, plays continues to see if the balk will be nullified. I had an offensive manager object when I called a balk and allowed the play to continue. He ended up with a run scored and bases loaded. With the balk he gets a run, R2,R3 and the same batter. I explained why it was what it was. I told him we were going to play and I would show him after the game. I asked him if he had bases loaded, I call balk and his batter hits a grand slam which does he want? He said he wanted the balk. This was a state tournament.

Now that's funny right there! I cant think of many situations where you wouldn't take 4 runs over 1. I know from playing ball that sometimes a HR kills a rally (believe it or not) but I doubt this is what he was thinking. What you said makes sense. Where is that rule by the way? Im being lazy

I was completely floored that guy that just benefited was complaining. When he said he would take a balk over a grand slam, I had to walk away. This just proves they were winning in spite of him, not because of him.
