Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:02 amHis S/R card has a BK-17 rating. That's gruesome. It means he is going to balk on about 1 in 25 runners who attempt to get a lead to steal.
This means that he'll have about one balk for every 4 or 5 actual SB attempts, which is a whole bunch. And, of course, since the site is out to get you, it is giving him more balks than normal. :P

I had a season where Mauer was getting a passed ball ever 3 games.

Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 4:29 pmRegarding Cone's high rating, 1988 was the "year of the balk." Umpires were instructed to strictly enforce the rule that year, and the league-wide record for balks was broken by the sixth week of the season. Teddy Higuera from the same year is a BK 11, John Franco is a 9, and Dave Stewart a 17.
