I agree it doesnt make sense to me if 1 of the runners is off and running and the other one is not that we send both runners back. Kinda takes the delayed steal play out Huh?
Also thought I would throw this in
The main thing is that we do not call it like we used to because now we may have runners advancing. Need to slow it down.
All three of your possibilities are valid. I lean toward when the pitcher has the ball in the vicinity of the pitching rubber, nothing can happen. So if nothing can happen, time does not need to be called. While working the game, if players keep advancing when the ball is in the vicinity, to speed up the game under these circumstances, I might, every once in a while, call time.
These are things we are looking at that might need to be changed next year. Your input will always be appreciated.

This was Walter follow up to a question on when we should be calling TIME now in SP games with stealing. It worked well on trying it in games
