Then I would respond politley, quietly and respectfully as usual.
I'm not saying it isn't a difficult call in many cases, just that we are more knowledgeable, better positionied to see it than the dugout/stands, and neutral. Screaming was not the point.

It seems the different views are whether it is impossible or just difficult in some cases. As many times as many of us have called this correctly, the only issues are
- non-violations thought to be by the defense
- those we miss, the only ones that matter
Among those we miss are those too close to know for sure, so must be ignored.
