Amen Quakerman! At least some one is reading the book..
The one umpire we had not only did not know the rule he was a miserable man who said he didn't care when the pitcher said sorry and tried to explain.
We found out later he is in charge of hundreds of umpires. What a shame that is. Miserable man should not be umpiring. Miserable and a lack of knowledge is no way to go through life.
OK cgs how about this - first pitch the pitcher waits until 8 seconds, the batter gets nervous and calls time. Batter gets back in, the pitcher goes to nine - Are you going to give time again? Next pitch 9 batter doesn't like it, do you give time? The batter is delaying the game, not the pitcher.
I am not saying that the batter can never get time, but I am saying if the umpire gives time just because the batter calls it because she does not like the delay he is wrong.
Rule 6.1.e
Better yet cgs, show me the rule that states that the pitcher can touch her hands for 9 seconds every pitch?
