Correct! This play decides whether the game will continue or not. The umpire is making an important call at an intense and emotional time of the game. The call should be vigorous, so as to dispel any doubts about his certainty, and the visual cues should be big enough to communicate the outcome of the call to all of the spectators.

This activity has covered knowing when to sell out calls, but the same principles apply to safe calls as well—you'll always need to match the emphasis you place on your call to the intensity of the play.
