I think the last sentence is key here. Anytime you have this kind of a situation, you have to be absolutely DEAD positive if you're ever going to consider calling an out. Even then, I'm extremely hesitant to call an out. I can think of only VERY few situations where I would do so.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
