Runner at 3rd base, catcher fires down to pick her off, ss drops ball and safe is called. SS immediately picks up ball and runner apparently goes to stand up (she had dove to ground back to 3rd. Nobody has asked for time, no time is called, as she stands up, she is tagged by ss and called out.
Is the umpire required to call timeout after the initial safe call? meaning, player is called safe, she is on ground, now is umpire supposed to call timeout allowing her to get up? This all happens within 5 seconds (i mean the tag, drop ball, ss picks up ball, and runner goes to stand up... this was all pretty quick)
Nobody requests time from either team.
