6/12 Mariners (Washburn) @ Cubs (Hill) 7:05 CSN

[ctcf]

More runs plz.

[OleMissCub]

That looked like an obvious balk to me. I don't understand the complaining.

 

BK Kim did things twice as worse several times and didn't get a balk called.

[Keener98]

That was a cheap balk call.

 

Not really. He went back then stopped its the right call

[sweetpeteman]

What did he do?

flinched while getting into his set position

like a double take

 

He started to bring the ball up to the glove and stopped.

No way it's called unless Hargrove complained. It was 2nd and 3rd, he's not deceiving the runner or getting an advantage.

 

yea that one was gonna pry be called no matter what cuz of it being blatantly obvious....had nothing to do with his move though

[Rob]

verlander thru 7 with a no no.

 

Don't jinx it.

 

What sort of fan are you?

[rynefan]

I'm saying, how come he can't get the "B. Kim Balk Warning" or something.

[sunnydoo]

Don't jinx it.

 

What sort of fan are you?

 

He cant hear me...i am not there.

 

ESPN should be picking up coverage in just a second anyway. Ask Curt Schilling how that works. :wink:

MLB has had it as the headliner for a while now.

Is that run earned for Rich, or is a balk kinda like an error?

I'd guess a balk would be earned

An earned run shall be charged every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder's choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike which permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Because this balk had nothing to do with a delivery. Rich just had a brain fart and started to bring the ball up to his glove early and stopped.

What he did is the only time I ever see an a balk called. It was the right call, and had nothing to do with Hargrove. Most umps would call that.

Thank you, sir.

Probably going to be another score early and then shut down night.

[rynefan]

Slow down guys. Are they late for their dinner reservations?

[seanimal]

awesome

[radarluv1]

eckstein's hustle earned him a gift safe call at first. of course, it looked good to hrabosky. still 5-0

[sweetpeteman]

Great job guys, just let him off the hook.

[ctcf]

And the offense is back to normal...

who was that guy from the nationals that gave up the hit as soon as they moved to bonus coverage haha

[SouthSideRyan]

Ugly inning.

[CubmanPi]

Wow, defense back on the field already. That was quick, even for this team.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

7 pitches, yay

[sweetpeteman]

29 pitches in the first and 7 in the second. Brilliant.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Ugly inning.
