Foul Balls- dont wait for F7/F9 to chase down a grounded foulball up against the fence- Yell "Let it go", hand F2 a new one, let a dugout player get it.

I'm not so sure about this one speeding up the game. I've seen numerous times where a fielder is 30 - 40 feet away from the ball and leave it but the player coming out of the dugout is well over 200 feet away. Plus you have to wait for the kid to get a helmet and I've seen umps hold up the game for the kid to run down and back to get the ball.

It seems like it's quicker for the fielder to continue to get the ball and throw it towards the dugout on their side regardless of which team it is. Then that team can get the ball worked back in when they can.
