For reference the Jays claim that A-Rod Yelled "Mine" , which caused the rookie third baseman to step aside thinking he was called off by the shortstop.
I still think this is nothing in OBR, but it would be a judgement call as it did CONFUSE the Defensive player. The sames as F6 telling a just stealing runner a ball was foul when it wasn't.
