Are you suggesting following the "who made it close" theory? I read this theory argued with some conviction by a baseball umpire. If memory serves, it goes something like this:
1) If one side muffed things and thereby made what would not have been close into a close play, call for the other side.
2) If one side made a brilliant play and thereby made close what should not have been close, call for that side.
The theory had to do with it being the call people would expect, etc.
