This say's no.

So on Dash's field, cool (if the runner is going).

On my field balk.

This is why Lefties do not break the plane with R1, cause if they do, guess what they gotta deliver the pitch no matter what R1 does, I call it the same for a righty.

So R1 stealing, F1 turns in one motion, steps & throws to 2nd (obviously breaking the back plane of the rubber with his free foot) and retires the runner. You balk it, and leave the runner at 2nd.

Out comes the coach. He wants to know why you called a balk. What do you tell him?
