I know a lot of the good teams will do this until you call it and then they stop. They just push the limit until you give them a reason to stop. I was good friends with a coach from a local team who eventually won several nationals, the Tomboys. I was calling his game one day and his first 2 baserunners left early. I got both of them and they stopped. After the game I asked him what the deal was and he told me that they did that all the time until they knew what the limits were for the umpires on the field. They did that with pitching and just about every other rule you could come up with. I guess we all know there is a wide range of what all of us umpires call. Different strike zones, illegal pitches, leaving base early, tagging up ...........
