Ahem,
Bob:
There are a group of umpires, championed by CArl Childress, that say a PU should say: "Ball, No! he didn't go!"
This comment, in their opinion, will head off requests to get help.
I, exactly like you, verbalize "Ball" and let stuff fall where it may.
My sincere apology to all who now have been drug into an educational treatment by possibly the most inept umpire on the internet.
