and then to verbalize DEAD BALL!

Its always effective in stopping everything!

I've seen too many umpires call time and then everything just keeps on going!

Just my own experience! (And I should add in training this follows FED rule 5 for dead ball)

Thanks

I was watching a major league game on TV this w/e (and the station apparently had some great on-the-field microphones) because I actually heard an umpire say "Time out". I've never heard "Time out" before, LOL. Oh, well live and learn.

I prefer that umpires not simply make up their own terminology, like two recent partners, one of whom screamed, "I got an out!" for every out call and the other accompanied his "out" signal with "Force at third!" or "Tag at second!"

But "time" versus "time out"; "foul" versus "foul ball." Who cares?

I don't like "Time in," though.

Can somebody please reference this rule for me? I'm trying to send an answer to this exact question for a "coach" to politely asked me about this situation that happened in his JV game...and while I know the answer, I don't have my RB with me to cite a rule for him...I saw a reference to Fed rule 5...but that wasn't a citation...so can somebody please post the correct FED reference here so I can cite the rule when I'm sending the response to the coach.
