Originally posted by Gold_Spark If the umpire doesn't grant the pitcher time, he has a certain amount of time before he is required to pitch the ball. In FED rules it is 20 seconds after he has received the ball, I do believe. After those 20 seconds has expired without a pitch . . . the batter is rewarded a ball.
Yes, but that's not going to apply if the delay isn't his fault (those are my words, not a literal reading fo the rule / cases)
