When do you call "Time!"

I have no idea what "counts" you are referring to, but you do seem to be intense in your reply.

I would help, though, if you replied to what I actually said, instead of going into a long diatribe, most of which I said nothing about. Here is what I was referring to in your previous post. Maybe you should go back and read it again.

Note: you are advocating killing the ball while it is still in the outfield, just because you apparently do not have the patience to wait on the players to get the ball in. THAT is what I do not agree with. As to the rest of your post...

Of course not. There is a rule dealing with this. Don't be silly.

Proven to what? Oh, yeah, we do get to that at the end.

I've never had this happen.

I don't let this go on too long, either.

Again, there is a rule to deal with this. It is not the same thing at all as killing the ball with the ball in the outfield.

Which is, of course, why we are all out there, to relax in our sandals eating hot dogs and swapping stories.

Of this I have no doubt - this this in your opinion, that is.
