I disagree that it's part of your job to echo the call of your partner. You don't echo his out/safe calls, his strike/ball count, his proclamation that the ball is now in play, or his call to his wife after the game...why would you echo a balk UNLESS (in FED) play is continuing because the players may not have heard him?
