We didnt call anyone up did we?

I was at the Chiefs game yesterday. It was a real tough loss in the late innings. They now trail by 3.5 games with 8 games to go. Too Bad…
However, I caught an Ian Desmond foul ball. That’ll be worth big bucks someday…….

So I’m watching the game see Elijah get picked off on an OBVIOUS balk and thought, I need to vent about this.

Now just to support the statement, I’m going to post a link to the rule, and quote the specific rule [8.05©] with emphasis from me:

The pitcher, while touching his plate, fails to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base

Yeah, but just because Dukes sucks ass at stealing and taking a lead it doesn’t make that motion any less of a balk.

I wish Riggleman would have argued.

I agreed that it should have been called a balk. But in the end, it’s just another pickoff of Dukes.
