Miami Marlins pitcher Richard Bleier went seven seasons in his MLB career before committing his first balk. The wait for his second, and third, balk was more than a little shorter.
A game between the Miami Marlins and New York Mets on Tuesday abruptly devolved into an ump show when first base umpire John Tumpane called not one, not two, but three balks on Bleier in a single at-bat during the eighth inning.
With the Marlins up 6-3, Bleier allowed a two-out single to Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil, bringing slugger Pete Alonso up to bat. Alonso is one of the last hitters you want to face when having to worry about something else, but that's what happened when Tumpane stepped in to rule that Bleier hadn't come properly set before throwing his first pitch.
Bleier questioned the first balk call, but became visibly baffled when Tumpane hit him with the same call two pitches later. He argued his case with Tumpane before teammate Lewin Díaz stepped in to end the confrontation, at which point Marlins manager Don Mattingly arrived at the mound for a quick conference.
Bleier, who has never been called for a balk in his career, has been called for two in less than an inning
