What are you looking for in print. No one is breaking any rules. PS - your suggestion to call time may not be valid - I would not allow a timeout with runners in play unless and until everything was entirely motionless.

The defense's best "play" here if they don't want to get the easy out in RF is to simply pitch. Very likely double play if the batter puts the ball in play with a runner way out there.
