Reply to "Balk"

This is not directed at anyone in particular but for purposes of the site. This is High School Baseball that I thought we're discussing. Maybe not. If not then should we not temper our comments with things such as "at the LL level...." or "American Legion..." or "at the MLB/MiLB level....". Calling balks is part of the game. For those of us who do everything from CYO (7th/8th) through Jr. College we recognize that a called balk is different on different levels. At MLB you'll hear "technical balk" and at CYO "he's not deceiving the runner or batter....just screwed up so I'm warning him". I would suggest that when discussing different levels that rule interpretations be qualified. Thoughts?
