You Make The Call

If the defensive team did a really, really good job on this, then I am not going to call anything. Why? Because, heck, I'm going to be looking for the ball, too.

However, if I saw the ball go back to the pitcher then the runner should have, also. They get no special consideration for being duped by the acting.
