Ohhhh, Canada.

What if his dugout is on the thirdbaseline? Hell, you could have a new batter up by then. In any case, 15 seconds in a freaking eternity when making a call.

3-4 seconds are required on a banger?

Watch the play, find the ball, make the call. I would never make it appear that I was "still thinking about it" for four seconds after a banger, unless I was in the mood to toss an assistant.
