Coach Yells Balk - Causing Pitcher to Balk

I'd think it would be covered here:

4.06 (a) No manager, player, substitute, coach, trainer or batboy shall at any time, whether from the bench, the coach’s box or on the playing field, or elsewhere -- (1) Incite, or try to incite, by word or sign a demonstration by spectators; (2) Use language which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon opposing players, an umpire, or any spectator; (3) Call “Time,” or employ any other word or phrase or commit any act while the ball is alive and in play for the obvious purpose of trying to make the pitcher commit a balk. (4) Make intentional contact with the umpire in any manner. (b) No fielder shall take a position in the batter’s line of vision, and with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter. PENALTY: The offender shall be removed from the game and shall leave the playing field, and, if a balk is made, it shall be nullified.

There are rules...FED

5.2.1.d  "Delayed Dead Ball... any personnel connected with the offensive team calls time or uses any other command or commits any act for the purpose of trying to cause the opposing pitcher to balk."   Penalty - no runners advance - eject the offender.  OBR may be different.

That is against the rules as shown, it will draw a very stern warning from me. I will tell that balk is a word reserved for umpires and has no business coming from his mouth. Another stunt like he just pulled will end his day. Any crap from the coach to the contrary will end his day. 

It is really sickening what some people will do to win a game.  I once had great respect for an area coach until during one of our games and with a runner on 3rd, he took off running down the 3rd baseline screaming squeeze.  I guess he was attempting to get our pitcher distracted, possibly throw a wild pitch, ...  After the game, I told him what I thought of him before that incident and what I thought of him after. 

Yep, very bush league.  And, for me, it speaks volumes about the kind of program they run.

In the OP, definitely against the rules, warn manager, negate the balk.....

I had an experience just like CoachB25, 3rd base coach simulate a running start to entice a balk............easiest, fastest ejection of the year.......

Agree about the kind of program.  This is a "win at all costs" type of team.  They're good, but not what everyone thinks they are, if you know what I mean.

I have seen all kinds of shenanigens in my baseball career.  Funny how the teams that resort to the worst types of silliness can be some of the most W/L successful programs.  The team I coach focuses more on the life-lessons that can be learned from baseball but we still compete, and W/L's are secondary to learning.

Thanks to all for your responses!
