Umpires: Is this by rule a balk or not?

I was under the impression that a fielder has to be in close proximity to the base for it to be not a balk

Umpires vs Rangers that was fuckin good wtf

Darcy Sky Sports News Before the final hour England bowled at 15 an hour yesterday. The umpires should control the speed of the game. It’s got to the point where the 12th man is on between every single over, it has to change. And batting sides are as culpable in fairness.

Talkin’ Baseball Mark Feinsand Continue to punish the players for the zero accountability umpires MLB

Once in 2018 the umpires were arguing with thala dhoni
The umpires were shown a red card

#CWSOmaha #CWS2023 umpires are atrocious this year. How can both be called out when he was pushed off the bag?

NFL cheerleaders give them all in order to help cheer up the crowd, but they have to follow the most strict rules - see what they have to do during the game

MLB SFGiants With the help of the umpires. Thanks @mlbua

Davey Martinez was so mad after tonight’s loss he printed out a picture of the umpires missed call

Kirk Saarloos doing an in game interview, stopping mid interview to talk to the umpires is atrocious. I hate it. FFS

This in unacceptable in a game of this magnitude. Umpires under no circumstances should be able to the affect the game in the way the umpire did tonight. Worst ump I’ve ever seen #FireCaseyMoser

Most sports bars in New York City suck at being sports bars. But there are some exceptions that take their sports seriously. These spots have lots of TVs and enough seating to ensure that you won’t be standing, and they show everything from the World Cup to college water polo.

Umpires did a substance check on #Yankees 'pitcher' IKF

Davey Martinez went to the printer after the game for a photo of how bad MLB Umpires are

Bally Sports Southwest Texas Rangers Let’s flood this number and email for tampering of the game! Let’s all band together to catch the medias and MLB attention!

Honestly, appalled at the performance of the home plate umpire and umpires of past College World Series of Omaha. I’ve never considered robot B/S calls until tonight. There should never be this much criticism for umpires in a game between the only two #1 teams in the country🤬

Aram Leighton Breaking: Umpires move Ramon DeJesus to 15 day IL with right elbow inflammation 😂

Umpires always fuck up and get a free pass, he’s going to be fined for this but it will be worth every penny.

MLB and robot umpires

Ty Kropp Michaelangelo Sky Sports News Would add that the umpires are also hugely accountable. I also don’t agree that both teams got the same punishment. The Aussies barely bowled at 12 an hour at times, it was clearly a deliberate tactic. And it’s not sour grapes - it was an unreal test match.
