You'll see this a lot at the lower levels.... foul ball and the coach wants TIME to talk to the batter. Not needed.

You're right that "time" is redundant in the foul ball incident. However, in LL (11-12), this is an offensive conference and must be noted. You get one per inning, unless DC has a conference, which gives offense a "freebie."
