Wait, did they call a balk on the field?
Well, from my understanding.. the umpire actually called balk, yet the scorer incorrectly recorded it as a SB. This tweet makes it sound like it is up to the official scorer to rule it a balk or SB lol
With 0:01 still showing on the pitch clock and Ohtani not even a third of the way to second, the second base umpire [is already pointing at the pitcher](https://i.imgur.com/LNvVOWi.jpeg) in the process of calling time. He then demonstrably points at second base to award it to Ohtani.
The Rockies broadcast had it as a balk the whole time.
Balk Rules
You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a balk like that.

1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can’t be over here and say to the runner, like, « I’m gonna get ya! I’m gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt! » and then just be like he didn’t even do that.

1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there’s the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn’t typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). « get in mah bellah » — Adam Water, « The Waterboy. » Haha, classic…
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.
This should go over well in Vegas.
