Tough call, he looks good to me. I feel like 90% of the time when I see posts complaining about a balk, the person is wrong…but this falls into the 10%.

You have to have a very keen eye as an umpire to catch that and it took someone else pointing it out and 3 times looking at it before I saw it. There is a very very slight flex of his front knee that simulates his motion right before he stepped off with his pivot foot. By letter of the rule, it's a balk. But like I said, you really have to have a keen eye and only the home plate umpire is going to detect that from head on. I don't know if Smoltz's quote "that's tough, that's real tough" is him disagreeing with the call or begrudgingly agreeing but it's splitting hairs.

First pick for WS - Brewers-Guardians. Two long suffering fan bases.

next is Brewers v Rays. Rays may not get much fan support, but they build teams the right way.

**** the dodgers

It'd be even better if the Brewers were still in the American League and Cleveland was still the Indians.

Everyone loves the Indians. I don't know - something about the Rays.

Has anyone been to the Rays' dome this season since hurricane reconstruction? It actually looks pretty cool. Why do they need to move?
