Umpire Obstruction?

[Umpire_Jeremy]

bluezebra,

I couldn't find "implied time out" in my rule book.

Perhaps you could point me into the right direction as I still disagree with it.

I do not agree with time being out when the umpire handles the ball. That is clear.

I think that time should be called when the umpire brushes off the plate, but if its not, I can't see the implication of time being called.
