All play is over, reset, and lets move on. Now obviously, if more runners are on base, you have to make sure there is no other action on the field. . . but after that, time can be a great way of keeping the game moving and flowing better.

calling time is a great way of keeping the game moving and flowing better ???

I think its just the opposite ...........

If you NEED to call time, then do it. if ya don't, then don't
