There was a similar situation in a Brewers-Braves game. A Braves batter (forgot who) was stalling a bit and the PU told him to get back in the box. He stepped in, the PU pointed to the pitcher, but the batter then asked for time and stepped out. The PU did not grant it and the pitcher threw a meatball over the plate for a strike. The TV guys (Braves homers) went off on the PU but I thought since the batter was told to step in and he stepped in, but then back out, the PU was justified in letting the pitch continue.
Or maybe that is the Brewers fan in me.
