Dude, are you just making this up as you go along?
Seriously, I have never heard anyone at any level suggest what you are saying.
Also to say no one needs to hear you, that is a bunch of crap. During timing plays you need to "yell" so that your partner is aware of when the last out has taken place so we can determine if a run counts or not.
BTW, umpires/officials are always noticed even when you think we are not. We get noticed the minute we enter the field. Do not think for a second no one sees who is working a game and make judgments about you before that game.
Peace
