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.

good points. Anything that we can do to speed the game up is good.
On deck batters can get the balls, F2 throw back to the mound and I'm supervising.
The only time I throw it back to F1 is when F2 chases a foul ball and is looking for his mask, its a lot quicker for me to give a quick flip to F1 and we're all back in place a lot quicker.
