I wouldn't kill the play. At what point do you decide NOT to kill the play? Do you do it for infielders only? Outfielders? Runners? Coaches? Okay, screw the coaches...
If the fielder is walking back to their position and the pitcher is starting their delivery, I see nothing wrong with telling the fielder, "heads up," and pointing towards the plate. I do it all the time in SP, and the fielders thank me for it.
Is it coaching? Maybe. If the OC has a problem with it, they can get a life, because I left my CPR mask in the car.

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.
