Hope you realise, I'm not putting words in your mouth.
Nor am I real upset about your suggestion- just don't happen to agree with it; & having a little fun. I guess I usually just handle stuff like this more along the lines of what JJ does; not usually going beyond "Hey, Bubba, leave the ball alone, ok?". If the excrement hit the air-moving device [it never has, so I can say what I did] on one of these, I think I'd find a way to deal with it that everyone would buy. Now, in Tee's sitch, I'd probably call Time, since the ball is dead by rule when handled by an umpire, and no mandatory penalties or awards.
BTW, Tee: did you get him?
