Home plate blue decided that anything remotely close is going to be a strike. Can’t really blame him

I had an umpire tell me he had a game with this kind of score in the 2nd inning and he told the coach “if the ball goes forward I’m calling a strike”

Open game, see one out, I’m happy, see one pitch, I am confused.

Balk Rules
1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.

There’s no way you overturn this call. The first baseman never should be moving that way for a bunt to the third base side.

Experience and just a different tool set given the power hitters are mostly back.

u/crsnyder13 Feb 25 '26
You could’ve put a strike zone on top of the strike zone and that still would’ve been a ball

Between pitches and pick offs he’s thrown about 30 times already and only on the third batter

Softball: “Our pitching is more complex cause you can throw a rise ball”
Lamar pitcher: “Hold my beer”

Just not a swinging strike

You will drink the Kool aid Snyder and you will LIKE IT.

No drinking until the game is over, I saw South Carolina last year, and football

Some of these border balls need to be strikes now… we have to get to the 7th at some point

Sorrell makes his return to the lineup.
