Over the years, I've seen a lot of coaches do that exact same thing. They do stuff like that to see if the blue is gonna call it. If they do, then it quits. One coach told me that he's rather know if he can get away with it in the first inning than the last.
I guess their attitude is that we're there to enforce the rules, lets see if they're gonna do it or not. I've seen a lot of umpires not call things, because it's not worth the hassle. I come from a different cloth. If it's in the rule book in black and white, it's gonna be enforced.
That's another reason I watch games on my "off" games. Not only do I enjoy the game itself, you can learn about teams by watching them when you're not on the field.
