Yeesh... After reading all these, the impression I get, is the umpires who handle their games like "Big Dawgs", take care of the small things, know when and when not to do something, take charge, are the ones not calling time. Yes, a matter of preference. Not that big of deal. But its one small bullet in the big gun, that overall, seperates the top guys, from everyone else.
Do it at the right time, play over, runner dusting himself off, F1 walking around the mound, new batter stepping in, make quick eye contact with my partner as I spin to dust, 2-3 seconds later, Im back up, behind the catcher.
Call it, dont call it. Yeah, again just one small piece of the big puzzle that happens during a game. But add them all up, its running your game that much better.
