I call this ball several times a week, I love it, these guys have been around and as a player/umpire in practice and philosophy, we fir together well.

If no one complains, forget it. If they do, send F2 out after explaining why it is perfectly reasonable for B to beeyatch. I had a similar, after being warned by F2, F1 did it again. "TIME" and a walk to the mound, I knew it was by habit and said, "Habit or not, ya' gotta stop".

Umpire to your age group.
