Partners Doing Weird Things

[Marty Rogers]

Tee: This is what happened (I was in B position):
Batter gets in box to bat. PU says, "Batter,
tuck your shirt in." He points to shirt, and kid
steps out, so I know what's going on. I am just
hanging out, waiting for kid to fix shirt, when
I realize the pitcher is about to pitch. My natural
instincts made me come up with hands and shout TIME!
My natural instincts do not want my partner getting
a pitch in the gut or face when a pitch comes his
way with no batter in the box. I'm nice like that.

Kid ignores me and pitches anyway. At that moment,
I realize PU is ordering the pitch, which he
calls (Stirke). Batter JUMPS into box as next
pitch is about to be delivered. Batter's coach
goes CRAZY. I am still in my stunned mode after
what PU just orchestrated.

I'm sorry if you disagree, but this is poor game
management as well as against the rules and a
dirty trick. He should have spoken to each coach,
warned that the shirttails out will no longer be
tolerated, then ejected the next player who delayed
the game by not complying. You just don't DO things
like that to get your point across IMHO.
