Like every other signal we use, it is for those who are not in the immediate vicinity to understand what just occured. It is also an indicator to the teams and coaches of your call and should avoid the "but Blue, she fouled the ball" arguments.

"Blue was that a foul tip."
"Yes"
"So doesnt the runner have to go back?"
