Time out calls!
I take nothing for granted. When I clean the plate, I call TO. When I get a request from a coach who wants to ask a questions, I call TO! It's my way of
making sure that nothing will happen that I will miss! It's usually during situations like I have described that someone will try to do something! When you call TO you nothing's going to happen because play has been suspended. I umpire by the game, not the clock! Same thing when working the bases!
