Isn't that just karma for you?

Yeah, I've held up pitches for dust swarms to settle. To me, it's a safety issue, and I'd say you're fully justified in holding things up for a reasonably short time (5-10 seconds or so, not that I'm timing). And if they want to whine about time, screw 'em. It's not just their safety I'm worried about. It's everyone's. :P

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
