To start the game, "Play ball"; to start a half inning, "Play". After that, only when necessary, or to indicate I am tired of waiting and am starting a "time between pitches" count.

It is necessary in baseball, to indicate runners are now in jeopardy, and ability to start an appeal. Neither exists in softball (well, someone could stupidly want a live ball appeal after the ball has been dead, but really??), so, unless the batter is being surprised or quick-pitched, let them play.
