dead or foul

[..., but have heard that they teach that "dead ball" is only a situation, never a call to be made. They teach that in this situation the proper call for the base umpire is "TIME!" and for the plate umpire is "FOUL!"

They instruct that if a ball in play becomes a deadball and the play needs to be stopped, "time" should be called. ... [/B]

I can buy that. It is logical.
