No he didn't. This was MLB and according to MLB he may have signaled "time", but he definitely did not signal foul.
Okay. Right. Would you agree, or not, that signaling "time" kills the play? ;) Whatever is meant by that signal still results in a dead ball. IMO, the crew needed to eat this one instead of trying to put the youknowwhat back into the steer.

He DID kill the ball. there may be a difference of opinion regarding whether he did it on purpose or not, or was even aware he did it. But he's got 3 partners out there. I find the chances that NONE of them noticed his signal exceedingly small.

That guy has ENORMOUS hands.
And apparently has a gun in his back. Another tell-tale sign of a Smitty -- throws his hands up over his head like he's being held up when calling "TIME" (or more than likely "DEAD BALL").

Thank you for the correction, although I fail to pay any attention to it at all! :eek:
