Explain please? Because I've always been confused on how a balk is called.
There are a number of different things that can be called a balk. Any action that could deceive a runner is a balk. Any time you start towards the plate and don't go there is a balk. Any time you don't come to a complete "set" in the stretch is a balk. When your hands come together in the stretch motion, you have to completely stop.

It was a normal pitch. There was no balk whatsoever.
I was listening on the radio, so I can't dispute anything. I was just responding to the previous post about not stopping his motion. As another poster pointed out, the run would've scored on the sac fly anyway.
Also, to those second guessing the pinch hitting, remember that Mainieri wasn't there to make those decisions. That's why he can't get tossed in a close game like this.

I didn't think he paused. I saw it the other way from you. Just sayin. It's over now, and we couldn't get a run in anyway all night. This game is not on the umps.

Reasonable minds can disagree. I'm not saying I'm absolutely right. And I agree, it wasn't on the umps, but there were certainly aggravating calls the entire night.

Maineri getting tossed was a total bush league move by the ump. Maineri was coming out, and the ump went towards him, which cause the "bump" that got him tossed. Ump needs to have a little restraint there. Terrible.

Was this definitely the issue the balk call was centered around? You know that Hawthorne didn't have a fricking clue, plus he and Hanagriff were too busy being fans about Mainieri getting tossed to explain what was going on.

The game was lost by the Tigers. But the balk was fricking irritating. No reason why that should've been called.

Yes and yes. The umps behind the plate was a joke.

it wasn't much of a pause...still a chicken shite call to make in the top on the 9th with a runner of third and a close game. it would have been a nit picky call regardless. don't make those kind of calls in that situation

I'm looking at it again right now on DVR it's a very very picky call that could probably go either way. But meh, LSU had plenty of chances tonight. Not like it mattered at that point because we didn't put runs up in the 9th anyway.

Yeah, couldn't really have been anything else.

Its hard to tell. I thought he paused so I was confused but maybe in the heat of the moment i saw what i wanted to see on the replay. I'll have to go back and check it out.

If you're in the stretch, you have to pause for at least one second once you bring your hands together if a runner is on base.
not if the pitcher's 'normal' motion is not pausing...
and the ump knows that.
think about it, he had several pitches exactly like that, the ump just up and called that phantom balk out of the blue.
....it's all good we'll win the series tomorrow!!!

Well, that's bullshite, but CPM has to do everything to avoid contact with the ump there. It's on him to have enough control to not let that happen. Nothing good can come of him arguing or getting tossed there.

He kinda slowed down on the tail end of his delivery and didn't really follow through very hard. It seemed like once he started toward the plate, he half assed it down there. It looked a little weird, but I don't think it met the definite criteria for a balk.

Guy on 1st? Maybe you make the call. Guy on 3rd? There is no real chance of deception, and the guy isn't going to steal, so yeah, it was a weak call.

Mainieri got tossed before he even got to the plate. Must have dropped the magic word.
And he definitely got word to the dugout about the 9th inning game planning. Especially when USC went to the mound, he had time to step into the hallway between the dugout and locker room.

they usually want a second of pause, which he didn't do...it really didn't affect the outcome of the game. errors and untimely hitting is what did us in
