Semi-related to the thread: I've had a number of rec league teams try that tactic, even to the point of the coaches telling the players, "Call time so you can get the ball to the pitcher." I typically respond to that by telling the catcher that I'm not going to grant time because it slows things down. Word makes its way around the defense fairly quickly after that. Got duped on one a couple of weeks ago, thought the request for time was to check on a fielder, then realized they'd pulled one over on me. I watched that very closely for the rest of the game, didn't let it happen again.
