Whew glad Pallante didn’t get tagged by 112. That was close.

WTF is that balk call. Umpires injecting themselves on that one.

It's time. He's a liability to this team. This team needs to win these road games. Gotta put your best team out there and he isn't any part of it.

Would've been nice if camera crew could've shown how Pallante balked

I didn't like it either, but the next guy got a single so it is a wash. Besides Witt losing out on an RBI.
Balks seem to often be judgment calls.
go cards

Maybe...the butterfly effect.
I think a balk has to be completely obvious if a runner is on 3rd. Maybe it was. I need to see another replay.
