Not to stir things up....But
Don't think I'd make that call unless it was very very obvious.
Are you saying you would call this only when the situation wasn't as crucial? Maybe I misunderstood, but I try to call the same game in the final inning as I have in the first inning, regardless of the score or count.
If the ball was in the strike zone when he was hit, its a dead ball strike, even if he's the potentially tying or winning run!
