Balk - EJ

[Thunderheads]

I found this by searching "balk" under videos.  Obviously this is an EJ also, but ....

 

Must have been a 'no stop', yes?

I don't know what happened. We need an explanation!

I believe the first base umpire called a no-stop balk on Strop.  Rizzo hears the call and thinks the ball is dead so he doesn't cover first.  The balk then gets ignored since everyone advanced a base.  Renteria then gets ejected for arguing the balk call.  The Brewers announcers are totally unaware as to what happened.

If that's what happened, I'd like to hear why U1 decided to call a no-stop balk. Ordinarily you don't call that unless you see the hands.

I think it was U2 that called it. Watch Strop turn around with the "what did I do" shoulder shrug in the direction of 2B. Whoever called it, that is exactly what happened, balk called, ball hit, Rizzo didn't cover 1st, infield single, r2 advanced to 3rd, disregard the balk.

I think it was F2 that called it.

 

 

 

If F2 thinks it's a balk, the defense really doesn't have much of an argument.
