Depends on the umpire. Many say "When in doubt, bang them out" or "All pitches are strikes until convinced otherwise".
I don't think along these lines. Some may even have it as their signature. Generally, I try to have no preconceived notions of what is about to happen until I see it. Sometimes I do, but I try not to on all plays/pitches.
And, as said before, should not call an out until the umpire sees an out.
