Actually, I laugh at the batters that wipe out the lines.
Last year at a tournament, the catcher asked why I was laughing. I told him loud enough for the batter to hear, "He's wiping out his only defense against me ruling him out for stepping out of the box. My batter's box is usually much smaller than the ground crew's."
Batter stopped wiping out the lines and gave me a nervous smile. I told him not to worry, just don't move the feet.
