I also watched the game. BT, looks like we will have to agree to disagree.

Granted CSF more than likely would have won the game without the balk call although I've seen plenty of times when bases juiced, no outs and it stayed that way. Only problem is, we will never know. IMO, it was a terrible call and one that should not have been made even if it was in the first inning. Replay's showed he came set, apparently just not long enough for the 3rd base ump to see

. Even the announcers couldn't figure out where the balk was! Thought it might have been called on the catcher, wondered if he went to his mouth while on the mound AFTER the pitch was thrown, etc...

I agree rules are rules, but where it's not obvious, let them play.
