With all due respect, players over the age of being able to tie their shoes, should be able to properly keep contact with the bag, stand up, and dust off without delaying the game by asking for time, while the fielder is throwing the ball back to the pitcher.
In the pro game, the fielder isn't hovering around a clueless baserunner waiting for him to get up. That's what delays the game, and it should be ( to quote the late Don Knotts) "nipped in the bud".
BTW, two ejections is NOT an ejectathon.
