the balk rule is subjective

always has been, always will be

i feel like it shouldn't be though, it should be a rule, its either a balk or not. It shouldn't be as subjective as balls and strikes

Balls and strikes shouldn't be as subjective as balls and strikes.

I have to agree with Buck Shcowalter on this: if the balk is illegal, then the fake to 3rd/throw to 1st should be as well.

It's like, lemme get this straight: it's illegal to basically "fake" a move to home plate and throw to 1st b/c THAT'S unfair to the runner, but go ahead and fake to 3rd b/c that's somehow different? um, yeah...

theres no question here, i'm just throwing out a statement guys ,.. relax..., and i'm not saying that wolf's "balks" gave them a 6-1 lead, but hey, balks turn into runners, which turn into opportunity

i guess i can't argue with you, but i still am a big fan of the mets prospects, especially daniel murphy. I hope he doesn't get traded
