Thanks guys. Just wanted to get others take on this situation. I didn't let the pitcher pitch .... I told the managers at the pre game meeting to make sure their players were not taking undue time in the box w/o time out. Also reminded the "offenders" to pay attention when they started their ritual.
I think they seemed to get the point that simply holding up their hand and taking forever to get set wasn't the way to get things done.
They were stepp'n in paying attention as the day went on.
