Several better choices (imo) than taking runs off the board:
1) No penalty
2) Don't use the CR
3) If the previous F2 doesn't come back out and catch, the CR becomes a "regular sub" retroactively. (Note that this leads to the previous F2 catching for one pitch, then the substitution).
Stop thinking of it as a speed up rule and think of it as a participation rule (similar in that regard to the DH or EH rules).
