OBR 4.15(b) - Employs tactics palpably designed to DELAY or shorten the game

From the OP

Let's see we have R2/R3 one out and a count of 3-0 on B1

The manager calls Time and then sends r3/R3 to PURPOSELY get called out.

Why did the manger do this?

Was it to win the game - Doubt it

Pete Booth
Most likely he did this to have another full inning to try to win the game or get kids in the game or whatever. It is not a delaying tactic and as bush as it, (and it is bush), it is not illegal.

If you have the balls to end the game because of this, you should have the balls to tell the truth.
