verbalize a fly ball out?

Yeah, that was one of the comments I noted for this guy. Every pitch out of the strike zone needed a location flourish. He looked like an orchestra conductor!

My question to these guys is:

When you call a strike, do you tell everybody where the pitch was?
STRIKE...on the corner!

I usually get a "why the hell would I do that" look, so I ask them why they feel the need to tell everybody when they call a ball....It just looks like they have to justify their call.

Tell him to just say "I looked all over the strike zone and could not find it."
