20 seconds pitching rule

[AtlUmpSteve]

To correct my own post:

I actually say "Time is NOT granted, let's play", not the word "no"; and have had limited resistance, beyond "why do some umpires refuse, when others grant it routinely".

Locally, I am told I am the "ONLY" UIC that stresses it, and that my umpires are the only ones that call it that way; even at ASA Gold Territorial, Regional, and Nationals.

The problem really isn't how it is refused; it is with those that grant it, and make us (that refuse it because we understand we should refuse) look like the fools.
