Are you contending that managers are within the rules to do things like this, have their batters swing at every pitch to get out on purpose, or throw pitches on a bounce to the plate to walk batters to extend the game or for whatever reason? I've seen posts about these tactics.

Sorry. I don't believe that is what is meant by delay. Delay refers to the pace of the game in normal lexicon, e.g. excessive timeouts, staying to long at the mound during a conference, holding a batter up excessively before getting into the box, etc. He extended the game, he did not delay it.
I didn't say it wasn't bush, I just believe, as apparently do the others involved, that the action is not covered by the rule you cite.
