Episode Details

Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo was called for a balk during a game against the San Diego Padres due to a questionable interpretation of the rules. The umpire ruled that Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor, who was holding the runner, was not close enough to the base for the pivot pickoff move to be valid. Despite the confusion and disbelief from fans and Woo himself, the Mariners managed to avoid any real damage as Woo retired the next two batters. The incident highlights the complex and ever-evolving nature of baseball rules.
