Like usual, I agree with everything Steve said.
It has taken me two full seasons to get used to saying "NO" when a batter wants a timeout (usually by putting a hand up at me, which I don't see for at least a couple seconds). When I work NCAA or JC games, I start a count every pitch. Thankfully it wasn't protested, but this weekend I improperly called at least three timing violations on the five-seconds-hands-together rule. Rule 10.2.3, from memory. I could be wrong. In any case, it's a dead ball: ball on the batter....not the IP I mistakenly thought it was. The violating team won 7-1, so I am glad I did not influence the result.
