Screamer over the bag, or an outfield pop that lands JUST foul, or perhaps a dribbler that stops very close to the line in foul ground - I'll call those foul. Most of the rest call themselves foul - everyone knows already.
I'll put a new one in play while the on deck hitter chases the fouled off ball. And if it hits fence or something similar, I'm checking it before it goes back into play.
