I'vr never bought that canard. I can see the ball hit the batter, I know where the batter is. I'll call it foul, too.

After all, it was sharp and direct off his foot in the OP, and it is the correct mechanic to call "Foul" if you know your partner didn't see it. The "Time" mechanic is used when the ball bounces up and the batter is moving out of the box when he's hit. That's a different case altogether, and should not be confused with a simple ball off the foot.
