It's not necessary to call time, but if it makes you feel you have done SOMETHING when the pitcher does this, then call time.

I don't think it is that extreme to warn the pitcher. There is a difference between slipping and falling, and faking a pitch. If this guy if faking a pitch with no one on, there is something wrong with him, and you have to do something to stop him.
