  • @leftyctopher The pitcher does not have to hold the stop, or what is known as the "set" position for a specified amount of time. The rules state that the pitcher "must come to an intentional stop".

  • hahah  its his glove when he drops hit to his hip

  • @lindz1817 probably a double set.. but yes harsh..

  • The hands looked like they dropped after they were set

  • was it for a double set or quick pitch? Either way thats damn harsh!

  • well the time he called balk his hand pauses and then moves down again, so thats what blue saw

  • Not a good call.

  • has to completely still for 1.5 secs

  • I've umped a lot of games where I've told the catcher to stand up like he's stretching or something and told him to call time, and do out and tell his pitcher to set for a full second so I don't have to call it. I've only called a handful of balks in 25 years.

  • @3018276800 agreed ... looks bad!
