"Tim c. I agree with your way to handle the Time Outs.
I always ask What For?"
Mine is a variation on that theme:
F6: (walking the ball in afte taking the cut-off in short outfield while runner is a few steps west of first)
Time!
ME: (quietly) No.
F6: Time.
ME: (A little louder) NO.
F6: I've got time.
ME: No, you've got the ball and part of this game is demonstrating that you have the skill to throw it to your pitcher without letting that runner move to second. Let's go.

This may take an extra second or so, but I don't have to repeat it like I would if I granted time every time some fielder wants me to protect his butt.
