I agree with Mick.

See a leave early.....call it.
See an illegal pitch....call it.

During most games you will hear fans saying, "come on blue,
F1's illegal."
"R1 is leaving early."

I have found that if a player left early, and you by your position
were unsure, adjust and get another look. Usually, pretty high odds,
they will do the same again.

The ones I have learned to hate or the umpire base coaches.
Giving the safe sign as soon as they see a play. Naturally if is
close and they the coach, are correct and you call it, then the other
coach always says, "did 1st base coach make that call for you blue?"
Had that last nite in a playoff game on a banger at 1B. Told the coach
"No unless he is a ventrioquist." However, she did admit it was a good
call when she came out next 1/2 inning.
