Are you just asking us to vote our opinions?

ASA:
Are these really taboos?
- calling OBS at a base by the PU - NO
- calling OBS at HP by the BU - YES

- BU calling infield fly - YES
- BU signaling but not calling infield fly - NO

- PU making a call at 3rd from slightly in foul ground - Depends on the call in question and the situation
- Same, runner returning after rounding - ditto

Multiple runners, lead runner to 3rd, no play at home:
- second play; PU or not - I pregame this, every game.
- first play after possible play at 1st not made; PU or not - First play is BU's (assuming 1st play not at plate)
