I would never advocate commentary with ball and strike calls because that is asking for trouble. When your out there on second base and there is a real banger that you know people 200 feet away are not going to see clearly it sometimes doesn't hurt. We must not forget that this isn't the pros, it is youth and summer baseball and you get a ton of crap about everything right or wrong. If your calling someone out for something you had a much better look at, you're sure, and you think it might help, it doesn't seem to hurt. They still don't have to agree with you, but at they know why you make the call. If it is simply judgement, I agree, make the safe or out call and leave it at that.
