This is why, despite the advice of some here, I ALWAYS announce when the time has expired. Yes, VERY rarely it expires during the action of the last batter, but that's rare. Usually, you are waiting for a pitch or the time expires during a play and you announce immediately after.

Either "Time has expired. Ballgame" or "Time has expired, we will finish the inning (or batter in FTB tourneys). I never run into this nonsense.

Another reason why, after 15 years, I did no SP this year. I can't tell you much more calm I've been. The actual children in FP are so much more of a pleasure to deal with.

I agree. No slow pitch for five or six years now. My summers are now much more pleasant.
