What Mark said.....
The reason that you do not use a verbal on both fair and foul balls is because it can be very hard to differentiate between a call of FAIR and FOUL when they are shouted by an umpire.
Therefore, we only use the verbal (with a signal) on FOUL balls and only use a signal on FAIR balls.
