If I were a manager and knew something was blatantly wrong, I would at least question it.

If I were a manger and didnt know, I wouldnt question it.

That's why he is the manager, he knows when to pick his battles (sometimes)

You said he was behind the rubber. Was he behind the rubber but still on the mound? Pbuc manual makes reference to not allowing pitchers go to the mouth 'within the dirt circle' or something like that. May have some play in this sitch.

As Rich said, changed in 2010, I have not seen a 2011 OBR book and I heard there may be some clarification this year. The new 2011 PBUC manual has the same wording as the 2010 OBR book. The only thing he can't do is 1. go to mouth while on rubber and 2. go to ball directly after going to mouth anywhere.

I got the 2011 rule changes at PBUC this year... the new pitching rule is he can't be engaged with the rubber when he goes to his mouth. Pretty much the same as college.

The umpire already made it clear he was calling it. It won't get fixed mid game. Time to shut up.
