Yes, I meant quietly between the catcher and me, even though rare.
As I only call "ball" or "strike" and very rarely comment further, Steve's suggestion would not apply (to me). Except for high pitches, the catcher can see as well as I can. Of course, even the coach should be able to tell whether a belt-high "ball" was inside or outside, if actually watching.
I don't like the implication of "our catcher can adjust her setup to try to get that call". I'm looking at the ball passing the plate, not the mitt.
