Then maybe somebody should straighten that out with them. I've seen them signal fair/foul on balls that are between them and their U1/U3 partners.
In fact, in a Rays/Red Sox game at Fenway, LFU Mike Winters got hit with a fair ball as it sliced toward him. He signalled fair when the ball hit the ground in front of him, and as he was trying to move into foul territory away from the ball, it still got him.
