Shoulda stayed quiet

Same here. I will give my partner a beat or two to make the call, but if he doesn't, and I saw it, I kill the ball, LOUDLY. From the bases, I won't go with just a single indicator, though (sound, see the ball hit the batter or bat, change in direction). I'll need at least 2 of the 3.

To the OP: You are thinking you kicked the call, resulting in an undeserved triple. But, OTOH, have you considered that you got the call right, and therefore the offense got what they earned?
