Not a good time to do that. Wait a few innings or discuss it in your post-game.
Bad defense allowed the run to score, nothing else.
If you get into the bad habit of calling the batter out on a dropped 3rd strike when he cannot advance, sooner or later you will do it with 2 outs when he can attempt to advance. Call the strike. That's the only call that needs to be made.

I think you'll find that your "silence" approach has been changed to announcing the out by many umpire associations since the Eddings play a couple of years back.
