  • @ 0:46 it looks like the kid is sleeping on a baseball field and his dad wakes him up by screaming safe in his face.

  • @raven3016 this is true 100% that why there no point in balks all the time.

  • @critter2 I don't mind starting teaching balks early, but young kids balk on almost every throw. They aren't trying to deceive the runner, but they still balk. Too many coaches don't know the rules either, and think that a balk is a dead ball, so if a kid balks when a kid steals, the coaches have their kids stop running sometimes

  • @raven3016 Strange there nothing wrong with starting early with balks. but the kids are still trying to learn how to pitch and throw to a base. Most of the time a balk happens in ll its dead ball. ball 1 etc.... or nothing just a dead ball.

  • @critter2 In GA where I umpire, kids have to learn balks early. I did a 9 yr old game 2 weeks ago where I had to call balks. It was a joke. Yeah, people don't know rules like foul tip. Fun fact: the old umpire giving tips on here worked with me at our park... he died 2 years ago. Worst strike zone ever though, just for the record

  • @raven3016 no i didn't read the other person asking the question so i thought you got it wrong that all. lol. in ll you don't need to worry about balks. Now getting into baberuth, high school baseball than yea you have to pay attetion. many people believe tie goes to the runner. a foul tip is a dead ball and those are wrong to.

  • @critter2 problem with that? you would be surprised how many people don't know what balks are, or simple things

  • @dynastar4lyfe13 it goes over the bag its a fair ball.

  • @88fungo as for the plate thing i agree... its part of the rules they have to touch the plate if there coming home to score.

  • @raven3016 so its foul; once it hits the ground past first? .... wow
