I agree with the above that say call it like you see it.
SS bobbles the ball, recovers and fires a strike for a bang-bang play at first. Well, was the runner going hard the whole time, or did they just jog the first few steps thinking it was an easy play for the SS. I would think that you were watching the ball since you saw the SS bobble so how do you know how much effort the BR was putting forth. Just don't see how you can make calls based on effort if you don't see the effort of everyone.
Personally, when I am coaching, I have a lot more respect for the guys that make the right call instead of the expected call.
