I said it this past Sunday. Situation, bases loaded, no outs. Popup hit to edge of outfield grass behind SS. SS camps under, and I say "infield fly". Of course he drops the ball, and the runner on 3b scampers home as the ball hits the SS foot and gets away from him. I turn to 1b, point at the batter-runner who is standing on 1b and say "batter's out".
I don't know why we should avoid saying "batter's out" when he is. When there is a runner on 1B and less than 2 outs, and a pitch on a swinging strike hits the dirt, I always say "batter's out", or something similar (he's out).
