Do you put the ball back into play ater each foul ball?

IMO, this is extremely important because the BU "could be left out to dry" if the PU doesn't put the ball back into play and then F1 picks off R1.

In Summary: To start the game the point is moot as to whether you "beckon F1" or point

The real issue is to make certain that the ball is put back into play whenever we have a stoppage otherwise Holy H*** can break loose.

Right on, Pete, stoppage is the real consideration. Not all this garbage about subjective style points and the "Be Like Each Other" mentality.
