If I were Andy:
I'm stopping PU before he gets there with the phrase: "you called it a strike." Quite possibly an emphatic point.
I can understand why Andy may have had a full conversation, as he might be training newer umpires. If my partner is a newer guy, I'm saying the same, but maybe not so overtly (or where other can hear). Then we have a good post-game.
