I just watched the highlights of the brewers game. They balked home the winning run.
That's beautiful. I want to know the name of the ump that called the balk. Was the call legit?

It was 100% legit. The Twins had a runner on third, but the Brewers were employing a shift. So there was nobody close to 3B at all. The pitcher was way closer to the runner than any other defender. And the runner was totally fucking with him. It got in the pitcher's head and he clearly balked. The runner knew it before the ump even called it; he just started walking home.
