I've always been amazed over how big a stink some organizations make over something this is just part of a routine.
If there are runners moving or a player heading for a fence, I'll make sure they hear it no matter how obvious it is to me. Just because I think it's obvious doesn't mean others agree.
If there is no one on and I think of it on a ball way out of the park, I may just be reaching for a ball.
I just don't think an umpire calling a foul batted ball foul is that big a deal.
