Good example of a time play

Yup. R3 cost his team a run by admiring the catch.

Good find.  Nice mechanics by the home plate umpire as well.

Is the embedded video showing for anyone? I put it in using the intended site feature, but I don't see it showing up after I post it.

​I thought the same thing, exactly!

Good example of why we should give the "time play" signal in these (and similar) situations.  All too often, I give it and my partner looks at me like I have two heads.  But, they will religiously give it with R3 only and two outs.

 

(Twice within a couple of weeks I had R1, R3, one out and a "reverse" double play turning into a time play.)
