Thank you for your insight.
Would you ever, if you deemed it to be effective distraction, enforce a penalty for this type of act by an infielder (i.e. F6 yelling "Let'sGetTheDouble-play!" very loud and very fast as the ball is entering the strike zone?
Rule 6. (Pitching Regulations - Slow Pitch) 4.B states that "A fielder shall not ...with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter. EFFECT: The offending player shall be ejected from the game."
I hadn't thought of this until last night, when it happened. F6 did it on a fairly consistent basis during important at-bats by the other team. Other team never mentioned it, and I never addressed it.
