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?

I don"t throw up hands normally, [like a TD, or FG], just call foul. Not Foul Ball, cause everyone knows the object is a ball.
All the rest, I will agree with Mike on.
