2. Can/should an umpire who has chased call OBS when it happens (assumes neither of the other umpires saw it)?

3. Should or must an umpire that chases verbalize to his/her partners?
From non-college ump.

1) Is the why because of angle while also watching the pitcher, still makes it more difficult.

2) As said, watch it, know it, say so if asked (other than the extremes provided by Slick).

3) Of course, why wouldn't we communicate with our partners? Is someone too elite to think the PU might be screened from the BU?
I prefer "chasing", loudly.
