Regardless of whether the clock ran out, I agree with the decision to forfeit the game. Last thing you want is to have the coach argue that the umpire was the one wasting time. The forfeit makes it absolutely clear that the umpire wasn't the one wasting time, but rather the HC was the one wasting time and got called on it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
