The signals, in my opinion, are important but not as important as the verbal. The catcher and batter should get a verbal OUT when there is an out or no out.

This is a similar situation, is it not? A pulled foot at 2nd base at the beginning of an apparent double play. The BU should make a safe signal AND verbalize something. Would anyone suggest to remain mute in this situation?
