It's never a good call for a base umpire to call foul ball, with the one exception of a fly ball that he went out on. In no other case should BU be calling a ball foul; it is always the plate umpire's decision and call.

Even the ball which hits the batter should be called a "dead ball", not a foul ball; PU decides if the batter was in or out of the batter's box.
