Opinions, confirmations, corrections ???
One the line, you only have three options, fair, foul or out. Anywhere else you have an out or no catch, though I would refrain from verbalizing it since many only hear the "catch" part which isn't a valid call.

Don't call anything if it is obvious other than a routine out, it that applies.
