Rapada and the Rubber

An umpire warned Clay Rapada that he was not pitching from the rubber, came over and brushed off the rubber with his foot, and then went back to his position. The YES camera crew then started taking close-ups of Rapada’s foot, and it is clearly off the rubber. The umpires are not doing their job here. The Orioles and Yankees are tied at four in the bottom of the ninth.

    But I thought the Yankees always got all the calls? Maybe in instructional leagues you warn the pitcher, but this is the majors. Make the balk call.
