This would have been an oppotunity for you to practice preventitive umpireing. If you as the base umpire know that the pitcher does not have the ball as he starts back to the mound. Why not just tell the 3rd baseman to throw the ball to the pitcher. It might save a problem before it begins. The plate umpire may not see that the pitcher doesn't have the ball, so why not help him out. Work as a team, not as individuals
