Immediate (?) dead ball

[SC Ump]

When I see a strike, I hesitate a moment, replay it in my mind and make sure it was really a strike before I call it.

When I have a tag at home, I see the tag and am sure I have a tag, but I don't call an out until I see that the defensive player has held onto the ball properly, even if that means I delay my call for quite some time (usually while I'm yelling, "Show me the ball, show me the ball.)

When I have interference, I see the play immediately and I know the ruling is immediate and that the ball is dead immediately, but I will often hesitate and not call it immediately, just to make sure what I saw is really what I saw. However, like the two other situations above, if I delay too long, it appears that I am not in the game and not on top of the situation.

But definitely a HTBT.
