This is a charged offensive timeout, pure and simple.

I realize that many of our group don't do small ball. You get one offensive conference per inning.

UNLESS, defensive coach takes a charged conference with pitcher/defense. Then offense gets a "freebie," which must end when defense ends their confab.

Off topic, I'm still waiting for one LLWS ump to correctly call INT on BR running outside of the lane. I have seen exactly one umpire hustle up the 1B line with no one on.

After 30+ years of umpiring LL, it pains me to watch the deplorable quality of umpiring in W-port.

Another aside--can LL provide these umps with flex belts? Just an idea.
