Okay. So you had the catcher moving out to contact, changes things a bit.
How did catcher get the ball? Catchers can't balk. They can interfere with batters or obstruct runners. Catcher is entitled to be in basepath if he has the ball. He doesn't have to "move to the side to make the tag". Runner still has choices to avoid contact.

As for the "You're out Fatboy" comment.Just plain stupid. I hear that comment as a coach and you've just opened the door for tons of abuse that day. And you will get it. Stick with the basic"Out or Safe; You're out or You're safe".
