Reply to "Ball in play?"

We're supposed to clean the plate (insert emoji for hand slap to forehead)

If I'm doing the game alone, I call time.

If I have a partner, I catch his eye and he knows what I'm doing. I take a quick peek at 3B and decide whether I think the runner has any designs on coming home. No sense cleaning it, if he/she is going to mess it up again. Then bend over and make quick work with my brush - no need to make it clean enough to eat off, wide generous sweeps on the corners... Should take about 2-3 seconds. I trust my partner will warn me if the runner decided to make a dash for it... If I "interfere" with any ensuing play, then I know how to handle that (unless it's the winning run and I've been there 6 hours already ;-) just kidding)
