I kind of mumble to the catcher after I call a ball. Say, if the pitch was an inch too inside, I'd say to the catcher, "have him bring that pitch in just a bit, and I'm calling it a strike". Or "Oh, that was neck high, I can't call that a strike . . . " Or the opposite to the batter, he might look at me like I blew a call, and I'd mumble, "that was right over the edge of the plate, beautiful pitch" or something like that. I know I should be quiet, but it's a habit. Also, I pitch (fastpitch), and really empathize with the pitchers - it's a really hard job (pitching).
