I hate to say it, but in this specific case, you're wrong.

ASA 5-4-D: If, after play has been suspended by the umpire, one side fails to resume playing within two minutes after “play ball” has been declared by the umpire.

This wasn't a suspended game.

True, but play was suspended, which is what the rule is talking about.

Either way, EVEN if it did apply, You wouldnt sit there with a stop watch for the 2 minutes anymore than you sit there with a stop watch for the 1 minute after an ejection. You use some common sense.
