Tim.
Actually Tim, there are several methods one can use during baseball.

Checking a dirty ball.
Going over the lineup with the coach standing next to you.
Going over to the dugout with the lineup card in hand.
A simple "Time, coach you will handle that problem there correct, thank you."
Dusting the plate while having a discussion with the batter or catcher.

There are many more other creative ways also.
