Not picking, but wondering why you vocalize TAG except in cases where there is doubt (like a swipetag). Pointing usually suffices. Your vocalization might be misleading to a fielder who tags and bobbles, but who then still has time to make another tag - your vocalization might lead them to think they don't have to, even if you've subsequently judged no possession and safe.
