How many times have you had this happen to you? Happened to me on Father's Day. I was the BU. First time in 4 years.

I'm not a big fan of enforcing this rule as an absolute. It is meant to avoid a delay in the game. I think umpires should be a bit more judicious with the application of this rule.
Calling a ball is the correct call, but it is not an IP.
