I was working with guys who had just come out of one of the schools for MLB at that time. Yes, it was bad baseball and given the talent of the players your D-league name is a compliment.
5-10 The ball becomes dead when an umpire calls “Time.” The umpire-in-chief shall call “Time”—
(e) When the umpire wishes to examine the ball, to consult with either manager, or for any similar cause.
Similar cause was then interpreted to include cleaning the plate.
So. Will you please give me an example of what OBR would consider
any similar cause?
