Do you ever call this?

Then you risk the pitcher getting hurt because of the canyon in front of the rubber. Most girls push off in front of the hole to avoid an injury. The only time I have ever seen what you are talking about called is in LL or a very inexperienced umpire who thinks the rule book is to be adhered to strickly. Those guys have 3 and 4 hour 7 inning games and for the life of them cannot figure out why it takes so long.
