Damn .... you're correct.
I knew that!!!! but usually (if it is in fact, a factor in the game) I've been concentrating more on the batter's 10 seconds and the pitcher's 20.....
Another wake-up call.
To be honest - When I say "if it is a factor", it means that I'm usually not thinking about the timing unless the game seems to be dragging...
