What about a fly foul ball in front of the O's dugout? and someone in the dugout yells "i got it" and fielder drops the catch?
What we doing then?
I've had this at a men's major. More or less, at that level of play, you need to know with whom you are communicating and make the damn play.

What would happen if you, as the umpire in a 3-umpire system, went out on a ball and waved off the other BU and said, "I got it" and the OF let the ball drop? After all, you called it!

Yes, you should say "2-umpire" or "2-man", but in the excitement, that isn't always what is said. I have heard, "Mine", "I got it", "My ball" among a few other things. I have not seen a fielder react, but could just imagine the conversation with the defense's coach
