We all know this is hogwash.

However, what do you do as a baseump when you see a batter fouls one off his foot? Do you wait for the plate ump to call it or do you immediately call time??

Some guys I work with want the base ump to help immediately and other don't want the base ump to say anything unless asked.

My preference is to wait until asked because its not my place to make a call for the PU.
