To the previous answers I'll ask...
When does the LBR begin taking affect after a batter becomes a batter-runner?
What does the leaving early rule say?
At the point of this "what would you do", there had been no appeal, or even a mention by the DC about missing bases or anything of the sort (and all his jawing was during TO anyway).
Yeah, he shouldn't have granted time - we still have a live ball here. I wouldn't have granted time for several seconds after he did... but assume he eventually HAD to, as nothing was happening.
