I thought about it, and thought about it.

I even scratched my head a little.

I think rather than ever saying "Batter's OUT!" (which I will intone again - I WILL NEVER SAY)I think possibly in a very low voice to F2 I might lament something such as: "Nah, he's toast."

I don't remember saying that but at least one grey cell seems to go that direction.

Mostly, I just step back and let stuff happen.

NOW, with this new "concept" (new to me maybe, only) I will incorporate the "no catch!, NO CATCH!" and safe sign.

That is what I'll do and what I'll teach.

Which resolves the issue fully - batters out unless PU says different. F2 can't pick up on that, oh well .....
