God, you really are OLD.

Tuss, try to remember that we use 21st century mechanics, not mid-20th. Nobody is advocating doing a "merry dance." I don't even know what that means. Perhaps what Leslie Nielsen did in Naked Gun, or something similar. but punching out a batter on strike 3 called is very standard accepted mechanics at any level, as is selling a close play. You never want to look casual on a close play. It looks very lazy, and apathetic, as do McClelland and Froemming on many bangers. Bangers are called bangers for a good reason, and calling them with strong emphasis is not an "emotional outburst," but rather a strong indication that you are very sure of your call.
