English term or phrase: call them
El siguiente extracto pertenece a la conversación de tres árbitros de béisbol: ¨The first umpire [thoroughly modern] said, “There are balls and there are strikes and I call them.” The second umpire [a bit of both] said, “There are balls and there are strikes and I call them as I see them.” The last umpire [thoroughly postmodern] said, “There are balls and there are strikes, and they aren’t anything till I call them.”
