Is the ball dead?

[Tim C]

. . . of me is the BS "Time Out!" calls from infielders bringing the ball in.

It comes to us from the wonderful world of Slow Pitch Softball.

Here's what I do:

F6: "Hey Blue Time, Time OUT!"

Tee: "Why" . . . ?

F6: With a strange look, "I said TIME" . . .

Tee: "Why"

It usually ends there. At the next dead ball F6 will always ask, "Why didn't you give me TIME!"

Tee: "Returning the ball to the infield and then to the pitcher is a SKILL of the game - I am not going to cover your poor play."
