This thread is similar in nature to the thread we had concerning mechanics on a dropped third strike less than 2 outs and first base occupied. Should we signal and say batter's out or say nothing because the partcipants should know the rule.
In that thread there were varied opinions and no right or wrong answer.
This thread is the similar in nature. There is no real right or wrong answer.
As to what I would do - it depends.
Example; B1 hits a rocket that hits F1 in the head area and he goes down immediately and doesn't move. In that case, instictively I would probably call TIME immediately without even realizing it. it would be a simultaneous reaction.
Other examples it would depend.
In summary there is no clear-cut answer but varied opinions on the subject matter.
