Mr. B
I agree completely.
Often I hear of umpire's telling a partner "how much they hustled" during the game only to find out that THEY also run back to get that ball fouled back into the screen (what Tim McCarver would call a 'foul tip').
As soon as you feel that ball zip back get one out of the selection, hand it to the catcher and cut off F2 chase.
We can all control certain parts of the delays that occur during a game . . . this is one of them.
