Can a pitcher request the mound be raked, dirt added, or repaired during an inning?

[UmpJM]

eb_baseballguy,

In terms of a rule, the following works for me:

3.11 Between games of a doubleheader, or whenever a game is suspended because of the unfitness of the playing field, the umpire-in-chief shall have control of ground-keepers and assistants for the purpose of making the playing field fit for play.

PENALTY: For violation, the umpire-in-chief may forfeit the game to the visiting team.
