How do you handle batters time?

[FUBLUE]

Depending on the level, I'll hold up my hand. You can usually tell early in the game if the "gentleman's agreement" between pitcher and batter is going to hold (the pitcher is waiting until the batter is ready, etc.)

If I have a pitcher that likes to work fast, I'll hold the hand up to keep the pitcher from pitching. If the batter is taking to long, I'll encourage her to get going.

I just try to read the situation to see if I need to hold up my hand.
