Tim, in this instance, the BR being thrown out at 3b, I probably wouldn't be concerned about time. I was thinking about a coach coming to the mound, where I call time as I see him coming out.
My thoughts were the same on the umpire looking like he's still moving on the call. How many of you don't actually pivot on a sure extra base hit? I'm more inclined to not pivot and just sprint directly toward the 2b cut-out, glancing at the touch of 1b over my left shoulder. In the clip, it probably would have been better had he stopped to see the play, then move several steps closer to make the call. Just my 2cents.
