The second part of that seems commonplace with SP. In our city league, we do have a couple of umpires who are very rules-knowledgeable and signal DDB when appropriate. However, the rest of the umpires will not call or signal illegal pitches (although some will signal a flat pitch by making what looks like dribbling motions with their hand
) nor will they signal obstruction which makes one wonder if they saw it but chose not to signal it; if they didn't see it; or, if they felt there was no obstruction.
I'm very surprised he never gave the count. Here, batters would be asking the count and if they had one to waste (assuming your league allows for a courtesy foul).
