Conor,
What if a batted ball had nicked a runner? Is that too ticky-tack to call? A balk? Where is the line? |
Jim, I don't nessesarily disagree, although neither of your examples include hard-nosed play. Neither a ball knicking a runner or a balk are comprised of two competitors fighting it out. I suppose for me, that's the line, IMO. That said, on a technical level, the call was right.
