I still don't get the whole balk thing. ANd if he indeed balked, why did they reverse the call?

 

[Del Preston]

Boston is losing 10-1.

 

[Mad Brills*]

upton's been a decent power hitter.

3rd base ump called the balk, home plate ump has called time out at the same time. Home plate ump's call trumps the 3rd base ump's call from my understanding.

 

[Canada4Gold]

because time was called before the balk was called. Nothing can happen while time is enforced.

He was balking the entire time, it's unfortunate the ump finally called him on it while time was called.

 

[The Nemesis]

I feel it necessary to point out that by the #s, Rajai Davis was maybe a marginally better 2-strike hitter as a Blue Jay than he is this year. At worst it's a wash. So Pat's point about the difference between Indians Rajai and Jays Rajai is somewhere between completely wrong and entirely irrelevant.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's still rocking...

 

[Daisy Jane]

this kid is rocking ALL THE TIME. call a balk already.

 

[The Nemesis]

Yep. Time was called before the balk. Therefore play was dead and the balk call is void since you can't balk when you're not legally allowed to deliver a pitch.

 

[Canada4Gold]

3rd base ump called the balk, home plate ump has called time out at the same time. Home plate ump's call trumps the 3rd base ump's call from my understanding.

In this instance yes. Time being called trumps everything.

Just not sure if you're saying that home plate ump always trumps the 3rd base ump(which isn't the case) or just if it did here.

nobody on base just now when he did it. I think he's fine doing it with nobody on isn't he?

 

[canucksfan]

Can;t call a balk when no one is on base

 

[The Nemesis]

Dammit, he's stopped rocking with a baserunner.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's limiting the rocking, but he still pumps his foot three time when he sets back to deliver.

 

[Daisy Jane]

heck if I know

Can;t call a balk when no one is on base

oh see he knows
thanks for that. but hes Rocking NOW and Tulo is on.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice take Saunders.

Big chance again for some insurance.

I hate this pitcher now, I hope they can get some runs

 

[canucksfan]

I think he can rock before he comes set.

 

[Canada4Gold]

oh see he knows

Well I knew he couldn't call a balk with nobody on because a balk advances every baserunner a base, if there's no baserunner that can't happen.

But for some reason there's a automatic ball thing stuck in my head, if they balk with nobody on it could be an automatic ball or something. I'm not sure, I'm probably wrong on that one but I feel like I've heard it somewhere

 

[BertCorbeau]

Dammit Upton

 

[BertCorbeau]

Waste

 

[Daisy Jane]

stroman again?

 

[TF97]

Great outing, Marcus. Just checking, but shouldn't he be in Buffalo?

 

[The Nemesis]

I don't think they can send him down until Tulo's DFA/release clears so that Goins can be installed permanently at short. MLB roster rules are complicated.

 

[Eyedea]

Tulo would have snagged that.

 

[canucksfan]

Bauer looks legit pissed
