Do you feel a need to verbalize all calls that are obvious to everyone in the ballpark?

If I'm doing a HS game in NH, absolutely. I always verbalize regardless, even though USA doesn't apparently require it. Not big, loud sell outs, but if my partner is following a runner, I want him/her to hear me.
After an evaluation game one year, the evaluator claimed that I didn't verbalize an out. I was on the bases that game and I responded that I verbalize every out. He further claimed that he didn't see my mouth move. So I lost points for not verbalizing and for having the gall to challenge him on it. Vindictive SOB.
