That's all . . .

I then walk up either the first base or third base line . . . as soon as I hear a fan chirp "gees, blue how long do they get" I then make sure I go and talk with the on deck hitter about something really important . . . a conference has never lasted this long.
Steve, we may never agee as to how umpiring should be done . . . but htat OK cuz it is just style and nuttin' else.

Makes a good point. Having thought about it, I can't remember the last time I had to break up a conference.
If a coach does want to complain he would have to come to me or visit me at the on-deck circle etc.,
Maybe its just good coaches, but usually after 30 or so seconds they will always break it up on their own.
If they want to take longer, who cares ... if it will help F1 throw strikes, who am I to complain ???
Thanks
