Again,
I KNOW what is happening around me when I umpire.
NO PROCESS is changed when this wasteful signal is given.
Other signals give a road map of what should happen.
I am not a big signal guy at all.
Working two man also limits the amount of signals that need to be given.
We already talked about the IFF followed by "I got third on the tag."
Time Signal does not give direction, does not change the coverage, and certainly does not change either umpire mechanic . . . it is nothing more than telling someone something they already know.
It is kinda like giving the "Foul Tip" signal after a great big swinging strike . . . doesn't happen when I'm dishin'.
