How is this any different than a coach who purposely delays a game when he sees a storm on the horizon and his home team is down by eight runs in the third? The magic sign machine in the third base coaching box now takes thirty seconds to deliver a take sign. Maybe he's on defense and he decides to switch pitchers again and again in the same effort.
Most of us recognize that the only travesty of the game rule concerns running the bases in reverse order. The umpire may have felt slighted but it is a strategy of one team, nothing less.
