He balked the catchers throw to an unoccupied base!?

I had to watch it a few times to understand what I was seeing. I thought I missed the pitchers throw or something.

I played the video without sound. Pitcher looked good, runner feinted catcher threw -

Seems odd to see the base coach without a helmet, catcher without a HSM. I think the plate umpire was a little confused - a little? Base ump has a great ready-stance -

 

OK - had some time, so I watched it again with sound -  the plate guy arguing with the fans - about a rule that doesn't exist (in the case) and not having a clue what he was talking about. I wonder how his post-game or eval will be after this game? I hope that he went back to read the rulebook after this. Whenever I get a rule discussion WITH A COACH, I always check the rulebook just to confirm after.

We won't talk about mechanics stuff.

I like how it never comes up in the passionate criticism of the spectators that it was the catcher who threw the ball to third base.

​Clean the plate? Theres a plate in baseball? You actually use the plate for calling "strikes"?

​Well, of course! How else would you know if catcher balks?

OUTSIDE Chest protector

Alrighty

​Hey, its not the chest protector's fault that its wearer, who correctly called nothing on the throw because that's something that shouldn't need a "That's nothing", for being talked into a "balk" of all calls. Especially when you consider that any catcher's box that may have been previously marked appears to long be history, and if that was part of an intentional walk it was the most unintentional intentional walk I've ever seen.

Although if you're going to use an outside protector, worth considering having a cheat sheet for any tricky rules you struggle with, such as which player and in what circumstances may not throw to an unoccupied base.

I get the feeling of routing for the Def team to protest the game. 

Never thought I would actually want to see an official protest, but can't help it after watching that.

It's like a train wreck.  I don't want to look, but I can't help myself.
