Why would that be the preferred technique? Is the runner to assume that they are safe if there is not a call?

The theory is (correct me if I'm wrong, Mike)that if the ball is rolling around loose on the field where everybody can see it, there is no need for a call. We don't give a safe signal on a fly ball that clearly hits the ground in the outfield.
However, as Mike alluded to, if the ball just pops out of F3's glove and is lying on the ground near her feet where it is not clearly visible to everyone, a verbal call and signal is required.
