I agree, but just can't understand how one could, instead of saying "batter up", say "go to your dugout and take off your jewelry" while at the same time giving oneself the right to enforce a penalty not meant for the jewelry infraction.
Really not a big deal. I just have this thing about umpires that want to make up or twist rules to somehow use them for enforcement in ways other than what they were intended. It often shows how the particular umpire wants to be bigger than the game and be a ruler instead of an arbitrator.
