Nick, that is simply not a delay of game. He is making a play on a runner. It is cited specifically as a legal play. We are picking nits here.
In Bob's obstruction call, the defensive team made a sound associated with the game (the fake ball/bat) and induced the deception. Without the sound, we've got nothing. However, the coaches have taken a unnecessary action to sell the play. Bob was correct and this should be penalized accordingly.
I've only seen one reference to making a mockery of the game and it doesn't refer to this type of play.
