Don't say lightning or a helicopter on the field, but try for helpful.

Does it ever include an obvious stall?

No.

Calling for an ambulance. Possibly a protest situation where I've got to have someone find the UIC/TD and they aren't readily available. That's about all I can think of.

Another valid situation is when the grounds crew is called to fix a field.

True if the situation is such that there's going to be a significant delay in the game. But I've seen ground crews come on and off the field pretty quickly during conferences and between innings to fix something relatively minor. No need to stop the clock then.

Few and far between around here.
