Too Much Time

I'm watching the Detroit broadcast of the Indians-Tigers game, and the announcers pointed out that Rafael Betancourt was taking about 30 seconds between pitches to Ordonez with the bases empty. You're only allowed 20 seconds with no one on. The second base umpire pulled out a stop watch and started timing him, but Ordonez was not given a ball for the violation. After Magglio flew out deep, the ump went over and warned Eric Wedge. With Guillen up, the umps finally call the violation on the third pitch, an 0-2 count. Wedge comes out to argue, but the umps have been very generous here.

Awesome! I'd like to see more of this.
