USSSA rules. Batter swings and missed. Ball returned to the pitcher who is in the pitching position. Batter steps out demanding time. Pitcher throws next pitch for strike two. (Strike two because first it was a strike, and second because the batter had stepped out of the Box) Batter out. Batter mad saying she had time. I say there is no time when the pitcher is in the pitching position.
I have got fooled once by pitcher asking what's the count, as I looked at my indicator, here comes the perfect pitch. So now I just look at the pitcher waiting for the next pitch.
