The angle isn't a great one but the move looked good. <br /><br />Looks like a bad call to me.<br /><br />Thanks for the welcome.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07817438833820372301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095009425937622616.post-68571114208370032882011-04-07T12:22:40.028-05:002011-04-07T12:22:40.028-05:00BU indicates at the end of the vid, that F1 double...BU indicates at the end of the vid, that F1 double set or didn't come set, or some nonsense like that. <br /><br />Does not have to set if he makes a play at a base. <br /><br />I did not see a double set. <br /><br />Welcome to U/E<br /><br />The only possibility here is the foot. Possibly not a direct step to 1B, but that does not jibe with BU's explanation.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505207663116721570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095009425937622616.post-54808834880699202602010-12-01T14:31:40.149-06:002010-12-01T14:31:40.149-06:00the pause of the foot did it imothe pause of the foot did it imoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095009425937622616.post-19025533665902571832010-11-30T23:20:28.820-06:002010-11-30T23:20:28.820-06:00I don't think it is, but it is really tough to...I don't think it is, but it is really tough to tell from the video. <br /><br />He does step towards 1st base. What may have make it a balk is if his right leg crossed behind his left (which would be the start of his motion home), but hard to tell from this angle.Rulebook Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321498426010857086noreply@blogger.com
