New SP signal du jour?
Have any of you seen an umpire shake his leg for a pitch called a ball? (Think of the hokey pokey where they tell you to shake your left leg all about). Nope, I never saw this either until tonight.
 He also made some weird hand gesture when the other team's pitcher was called for an IP. I won't even try to describe that. Not much else, although the other team did get a 7-8 flyout against us when our batter's fly ball glanced off the left fielder's glove and into the center fielder's glove since she was right behind him. That was quite the sight.

An IP is a delayed dead ball, so he might have been doing some variation of the right arm extended out. Or continuing the hokey pokey?

Maybe his cup wasn't a good fit?

 The best I can describe it is that it looked like he was turning some sort of knob. Although I did realize something today, on a taken pitch, if I don't see the hammer or hear "strike" it's probably a ball, regardless of what gesture is used.
