PU, standing right behind F2, said nothing. During second game, opposing coach calls time and asks about player obscuring the line... "Didn't see it, Coach." This is the second or third batter in the top of the first inning, with fresh lines...

Personally, I want that thing erased as quickly as possible! One of our more veteran umpires in this area made the statement about that rule is "they'll have to move fast to erase it before me".
