apples to peanuts -- the batter in baseball is OUT hes trying his luck to get on base.
In basketball when I have seen this once or twice I might NOT actually see the finger go in the eye but I call the fould be it half a second or second late because most (and by most I mean 99.9%) are not going to fake a poke in the eye when they are being guarded because basketball players are not taught to act while they have the ball -- its after they lose it or get a foul called. but as long as they have possession you wont hear much from him -- wait till he gets blocked or ripped of the rock then you might hear some crying and excuses and bs.
But the ball in a players hand is like truth syrum players act and respond to what actually happens at the time not what they hope had happened to save their azz
