I always put the ball in play after a foul ball or after I call time, if there are runners on base. It comes in handy every once and a while when runners try to steal and the ball is still dead. It makes it really easy to explain to a coach why the runner has to go back, or why the runner is no out. If there is no one on, then I only do it if the batter asks for time to get his feet set, or if the pitcher is going to fast for my liking.
I too have noticed that MLB umpires don't put the ball back in play. But then again MLB umpires do many things that I would consider incorrect and I would not do.
