I make it a point when alone in FP, to inform both teams in pre-game that as soon as I turn my back, it's automatically a dead ball. I don't turn until the pitcher has the ball in the circle and the runners are stopped.
Does anyone have trouble with players (especially SP catchers and SS) yelling "time", when it's too soon and the runners being affected?
If "Guy behind the plate was a nice guy and a good umpire, but he rarely works SP.", why a SP NC?
As to "In slow pitch you are supposed to call time as soon as the ball is on the infield and all play has ceased"; I think it's "ball under control in the infield area", rather than "ball is on the infield".
