Foul that is obviously foul to everyone no call is
necessary,
Unless there are runners on or the foul is behind the BR - the loud FFFOOOUUUULLL is a courtesy to the runners so they know they can stop.
I agree Tom, however, I got "gigged" for calling fouls
foul in a college look at. Also got one for taking my
mask off and trailing a just walked batter towards 1B,
with no runners on. Was told I should keep it on. I
was also asked why I always put a foul or new ball into
play with "play". The most ammusing thing about the whole
deal was, I was not there to try and get into the college
thing, was just asked to assist with plate duties so the
college boys could work on three man mechanics.
