Why call the obvious? The ball comes off the bat straight over the backstop and you are throwing up the hands and yelling FOUL or FOUL BALL? A pulled ball ricochets off the dugout and you need to announce it?

You don't verbalize a swinging strike; you don't sound off on routine and very obvious outs at 1B. Do you call out SAFE every time a runner touches home if there is no play there? Why change simply because it is a obvious foul ball?
