I want my crew calling this every time.
Just read this in going over my preseason meeting notes yesterday. I said, "Wow, that's harsh," but they've said (emphatically) call it every time.

I'm going to guess the reaction from A's sideline would be....not positive (I know that's not a reason to not call it).
