This is like screaming "foul ball" when a ball is hit straight back over the backstop. It's kind of a pointless exercise.

Right. The guy i work with seems to think that there's a difference between "strike 3" (uncaught) and "strike 3 - batter's out" (caught). He does that to differentiate between the two.
I don't like it, but i don't know what to tell him to change it other than "it's not the proper mechanic."
