Buddy, you make the plays; I MAKE THE CALLS.

...third baseman with a runner on third, he then lazily lobs it to pitcher without calling time and the runner at third takes off and scores, he say that he thought the play was dead when you through the ball to the pitcher. I said not unless you call time. He disagreed...

AS WELL HE SHOULD DISAGREE. But likely it was for the wrong reason. YOU CALL TIME. PLAYERS DO NOT CALL TIME. They request it and you may, if the timing is appropriate, grant a time-out. It is your decision, just like an out or a safe call, not his.
Ooohhh by the way, why are you posting this softball (SB?) stuff over here on the baseball forum? Maybe you were looking for different replies.

Your point is well taken. Players don't have clue... especially adult softballers. Too many years watching TV and seeing the televised arguments and controversy put out by the media.

Yeah you adult softballers are all heros and rules gurus.
