I believe that technically, we need to "time in" after any "time", "dead ball", inning change, etc.; but we do not say "time in", we say "play" or maybe "play ball".
Long ago, I think for college, I learned to say "let's play" for those sitch. I say that pretty often; after time, some dead ball plays, starting an inning, after umpire duties, etc and preceding dropping my hand for a held pitcher.
Don't find it tiring or confusing for players.
