I’ll allow it. Not a balk.

Absolutely should have been a balk.

Balks with lefties can be tricky, and maybe my understanding of what is and isn't a balk is wrong but that absolutely looked like a balk to me.
I don't believe you can intentionally deceive the runner, and that crystal clear step towards home and throw to first seems like the text book definition of that. Nobody said a word about it though, so perhaps I'm wrong here.

I've seen pitchers deliver to the plate with less of a step toward the plate. That was absolutely a balk.

Well, you're allowed to be wrong, just like the umpire was

It is absolutely a balk albeit a subjective call sometimes. I called it when I saw it the first time. Speaking as a former ump for a long time, his step and hip was to home - deceiving the runner. Can’t do that. It’s a balk.

That’s a balk. And also a hell of a move

It is a balk. His right leg crosses his left leg. That is a key to go to home and that is why Braun took a lead.
That is 100% a balk.

Can't make that observation from the angle provided. It is very close.

I wish I could post a shot of the video at that point. His arse turns and his right leg is crossing his leg.

We were so bad after that it wouldn’t have mattered one bit.

It changed the game.

I’m fine being wrong if this is not a balk, but in what world does your front foot normally go in that direction when you’re throwing to first. That’s >90 degrees away from first. My 2 year old doesn’t even do that and she throws like a girl.

They should put a line in front of the mound at the picture cannot cross

Lefties are usually allowed to step towards the dugout in those pickoffs to 1st. Its rarely called a balk, but sometimes is.

Must be within a 45 degree angle to be legal. There’s a reason that’s called a “balk move”, puts it on the umpire to make a call
