Thought of this one yesterday in my American Legion Game. Pitcher licked his fingers in the circle so my partner said,"That's a ball went to his mouth".
IMO, this is one of those Nit-Pick'n rules, that I don't enforce unless one of the coaches complains....

Pete,
By calling "that pitcher" on that rule, your partner taught that pitcher a rule and he may not do it again.
Thus, the next time he's on the mound, another ump may not have to make the decision to call, or pass.
If the pitcher had been called on that in a game before your game, you wouldn't have had to question your partner.
