To me, it's as bad as an umpire holding up a hand just cause the batter isn't ready. All that time, we're potentially missing out on a play on a runner at a base.
If I need to stop a pitcher from pitching too quickly, I'll do it, but I won't hold time out just so a batter can dig in. The pitcher should know to wait until the batter is ready, as doing anything else is unsportsmanlike. I don't call time to dust the plate. Like I said above, I have a partner and I would be thrilled for him to get an out while I was cleaning the plate. Another out down, another out closer to beer. |
