I was watching Game Dodgers vs Mets. I caught pitchers Balking and they dont call it. Like when you go into set motion you hold for 1 second I see pitchers dont even hold for a second while winding up. Its a Balk and they should call it EVEN ITS SPRING TRAINING. |

Aren't the rules on a balk so ambiguous? |

I don't think hte Umps really care much. Spring Training games don't mean anything anyway, and I don't think they're getting paid much to be there. |

They rarely enforce the one second rule, just so long as the pitcher comes to a complete stop that can be seen by everyone. Only if someone complains, then they'll warn the pitcher before calling it. |

WTF cares? It's Spring Training. The games don't count in the standings. Come March 31, all of the Spring Training records will be wiped away and the teams will start from scratch. |

Maybe he doesn't give a damn because he knows his own pitchers do it too, as does EVERY pitcher in the league, and it doesn't mess things up at all for a batter or runners. |

Spring Training is a learning time, you have to enforce all the rules. |

No, it's mostly to get work in for the players to prepare for the season. |

A Balk has been called in the first time in Spring Training. It came in orioles game Home plate ump called a balk on Bradford he didnt hold in position. Now thats what umps are supposed to do Enforce petty rules because its in the rule book. |

With apologies to The Who, I dedicate this song to steveox. DHB Wizard Ever since he was a young boy he's posted on the board From Mets Rule to Buchholz, by them he is abhorred But I ain't seen no one like him whose posting totals soared That idiotic slow kid sure plays a mean keyboard He sits there like a statue, becomes part of the machine Starting feeble topics, and never typing clean Spells by intuition, his posting totals soared That idiotic slow kid sure plays a mean keyboard He's the DHB Wizard, a thousand posts on O's The DHB Wizard has got so many foes How do you think he does it? We don't know Whut maekes himm sew goood Ain't got no Spellchecker, can't find simple mistakes Can't see the members fuming, he won't give us a break Always gets a reply, and never gets ignored That idiotic slow kid sure plays a mean keyboard I thought I was DHB's king But I just handed my posting crown to him Even on my favorite topic, always outposts my best Mom fires up the PC and he just does the rest He's got crazy flying fingers, those posting totals soared That idiotic slow kid sure plays a mean keyboard |
