What you see is what you call, especially not guessing an out.
As Mike said, we are there for the non-obvious. If it's tough or what no one expects, SELL it harder and be more patient with the coach (within limits of course).
I have to live with myself, not the jerk in the stands, not the coach who is 100 feet away with a bad angle, not even the runner who is called out or the fielder who didn't get an out.
