This absolute gem addresses two topics... First, the whole topic of Calling or Granting Time (Topic: Granting Time), and how we as umpires really should not call time unless absolutely necessary. For any coach viewing this, this is the way you teach your ballplayers on defense to act... not calling "Time!" to throw the ball back to the pitcher 10 feet away. The HBT can never happen out of a dead-ball situation!!! Second, umpires... give special attention to U1. Notice where he positions himself after the single by #12 and his recovery to the bag. Notice the poker face he wears, and notice how he responds with the Out mechanic without hesitation or surprise, as if he anticipated that tag happening. Why? Because he knew exactly where the ball was!!! Knowing the whereabouts and status of the ball (in that order) is the #1 priority of an umpire. Even if Time had been called, the umpires should be aware of where the ball is (Topic: Live vs Dead, HBT etc.). Thus, if (during a dead-ball instance) the ball ends up in F3's glove, the PU cannot put the ball back in Play until it is back in F1's possession, on the rubber, ready to pitch. And, in parallel, U1 won't be punching out poor Mister Nunez on F3's attempted tag... because that ball ain't Live.

Petty, I know, trust me ....but .... Has anyone noticed the amount of guys who point their strike call (most) use 2 fingers when it's the second strike? WHY? I don't know why this bothers me, but why does almost every MLB and MiLB umpire do this? So many of them do this, I have to assume it's something that's suggested during training? Does anyone know? AGAIN, ...I know it's petty, and it's not important, but I was just curious to know ..... example:
