I disagree. There is a reason those rules are in place and it isn't just to take up space in the rule book. Game control, after all, is part of the umpire's job.
And if you ask me, Sean enforced the rule IN the spirit meant since it's existence is to avoid delays in the game while insuring all pitchers receive equal consideration.
