It was kinda minor. If Bowa and Blake hadn't gone crazy jumping up and down yelling, I don't think it gets called. I could barely notice it live

Umpires who call balks are bad umpires

I don't even know if the 3rd base umpire was watching the pitcher.

It looks like he hears Bowa and Blake yelling, so he turns and looks. The 2nd base umpire had it all the way, though. I don't see why the 3rd base ump even confirmed the call like he saw it.

good umps dont call balks cause you have to really be looking for them unless it affects game.

that y the balk was not called right away cause the umps werent looking for it like bowa and blake were

it was the right call but umpires who call meaningless balks are no good
