Soto really loves that "wave your glove around high above the zone and then call for a low pitch" move

nope

[DiamondMind]

nope

 

It was my understanding that if the first baseman isn't covering the bag, it's a balk, regardless of the pitchers motion

'the bag' is to be interpreted as 'reasonably close to the base and runner' or 'not halfway between first and second', and not literally 'touching the base'.

[DiamondMind]

Guys, lets just enjoy the game and save the trade Castro talk for later, eh?

Hmm, I was always under the assumption you had to have a foot on the bag or at least be headed towards it. You know way more about the rulebook than I do though.
