I may not always call the batter out when he is out, such as an obvious swinging strike 3 when the catcher does catch the ball, or a popup to the pitcher, but I always call him out when he is and there is some question about it, such as dropped 3rd strike. I see this as my job to remove all doubt about a call that is not obvious. I have also never said "strike three" or "ball four", etc, I also don't say "foul ball". I use the words "strike", "ball" and "foul".
