Matt - "take a look at that balk while you're at it".
I’d be interested to hear the explanation as well.Somebody explain that balk to me...
Yeah, it’s either when he inhaled deeply or the look over to 3rd. Both completely legal, but otherwise I can’t see anything that even comes remotely close to a balk.I can only guess that maybe the 1st base umpire had a bad angle and thought Lively's legal look over to third base was something else?
From the game viewing.. it looked like the balk was called on Lively not coming to a full set before delivering the ball. There was an imperceptible pause.. not a full stop/set.. imho..Where the fuck was the balk?
He moved his head. Shoulders didn't move, hips weren't moving, no leg twitch or anything. I don't see it.I can only guess that maybe the 1st base umpire had a bad angle and thought Lively's legal look over to third base was something else?
He was in the windup. How was he not set?From the game viewing.. it looked like the balk was called on Lively not coming to a full set before delivering the ball. There was an imperceptible pause.. not a full stop/set.. imho..
In short.. BS Call.
