So the umpire should call time if he can stop the pitch from being thrown. In the case I saw, the ump seemed to do just that - he threw his hands up in the air and yelled "Ball!"
Doesn't that call time? Is there a time when the umpire throws both hands up (other than a foul ball) when time is not called?
The hands up signal should kill play. BTW, time IS called on a foul. That's why umpires put the ball in play after each foul ball
