If I (the umpire) am handling the task of putting the new ball into play, yes, I would kill it since I must now perform an umpire duty not related to the calling of a play.
Yes, I did change the posting from the other board. The posting over there, in my opinion, left too much open (was the ball being thrown in even legal?). When I have the plate, I inspect each ball that comes in, even if it is a rec league where you "hit your own." Those .47 CORs seem to try to slip their way in now and again.

But back to my OP... I would kill the play. The reason is that now, the pitcher is directly addressing me and asking for a ball, which is something he already has.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
