Garth good advice. Putting the Ball in play after dead ball also alerts your partner as well. The PU as well as the BU have to be on the same page. Nothing like not being prepared when the defense is making a play on say r1.
I think umpires get lazy in doing this. Even if there is no-one on base it is best to point and say play after each and every dead ball situation to get oneself into a good habit.
In fact, this is probably one of the first things taught to me when attending clinics - put ball back in play after every dead ball.
Lets face it the offense or defense will take every advanatage if we let them.
