It's certainly kind of bullshit when they are used as a stalling tactic, but I think MLB is attacking the wrong thing there. Those are between the players and are timed more carefully, under penalty, than in baseball. Only in baseball can a coach stop everything and walk onto the field to hold a meeting. Plus, they aren't stopping the game as they are in baseball as the clock is often running when the players are in the huddle.
