There is a simple reason why some don't like to 'bang' the close outs at first. It's easier, and it eliminates some of the moans and groans on the close ones.

I was doing a LL Senior Divisional game at 1b, and there were spectators right along the 1b line, who had a REAL good view of plays at 1b. I called several bang-bang plays there, all outs, and after every play they fans would groan and moan. Then they would quietly say..." good call, blue"...
