I saw in a recent Padres game where the Padres batter raised his hand toward the umpire to request Time while the pitcher was in the set looking back runners, and the umpire cheerfully said, "No." The batter took the pitch for a ball.
This must be a new directive, as we used to see umpires giving in to such requests, even though the rules specifically instruct the umpires to not grant Time once the pitcher has started his windup or come set. I guess they are going to enforce 6.02 (b) Comment finally.
