WindyCityBlue,
There may be a difference that I am not seeing.
It seems that if we want a pitcher to cease and desist an act, verbally telling/asking a pitcher to *not do something* is quite similar to stepping away and visually telling/asking the same thing.
I do not know why one would be considered more hard core than the other.
This scenario, where a pitcher may not even know that he's doing something wrongly, seems to have been captured 400 years ago when William Shakespeare wrote
Much Ado About Nothing where a good person acted badly.
I think if it was a problem, there would be a penalty.
