Strike, ball, safe, out.
Notice "Yes!" and "No!" are not included.

Yes what? Yes the throw is in time? Yes the runner is safe? Yes the tag was good? Yes the tag was bad? Yes what????

Yep and Nope aren't much value either.

Some other possibilities: Time, dead, foul, illegal, play, I like "Catch" also.
Actually..."yes" is used in the case of an offer or swing. The mechanic is to point and say "yes." "Catch" is a good 'un, especially on those shoestring close to trap kind of catches. "Trap" is another that can be used, as are "tag" (on any tag play), and "foot" (when you see a pulled foot.)
