You can add the next phrase like "call an illegal pitch on this pitcher", "require a player to remove her jewelry", "call interference without contact", "call a girl out for slinging a bat", etc.
I guess I am the only umpire that follows the rules.

So far this year I am the first umpire to:
Check the bats, throw bats out of a game, ask for a line-up card, call illegal pitches (over 12', SP), ask a player to wear his hat correctly, throw the ball down after 3 warm-up pitches, throw out illegal warm-up bats, insist on .44/375 balls and hustle away from the plate.
I guess all I need to say in response is, "thank you!"
