Close Plays Made to be Easy Calls

Nope, don't buy into this one. This isn't football, basketball or anything else. When I'm covering a play, I haven't time to check out the uniform or which team would benefit from any call I make. I see the play, I call the play and that's it. I really don't care if it is a winning run or game-ending out, I call what I see. Any umpire who doesn't may not be doing the job for which they are paid

Absolutely. I make an immediate decision and wait for any developments, then make the call. Like you say, I don't even consider which team or what the situation is.
