Pretty similar for me. If R3, I call Time to clean the plate. If I am working with one or more partners, I DO NOT call Time with R1 and/or R2. That is what base umpires are for, to watch the action at the other bases. When working solo, I always call Time to clean the plate with any runners on base, because I do not have eyes in the back of my head.

Like Tim, if I just use the foot wedge to knock a bit of dirt from the corners, I don't call Time, but keep my eyes forward. I also don't grant Time to infielders for no reason, and also ask them what they need Time for, which usually they can't give an answer.
