I agree with Framer and PJ2; an extra "pitch" call is not required. Aeroplanes should not be flown by mouth. The crux of the matter under discussion is that pilots sometimes can no longer fly the required manoeuvre, which is, get the nose up and control the speed with pitch until leveloff, then control altitude with pitch and speed with throttles (if the ATS isn't doing it). Simple stuff, really. The more bandaids we put on (eg more standard calls) the more we are merely covering up the underlying problem and eventually making it worse.

As an aside, the "Go Round" call is an FMA readout, not a call of intent. A call of intent would be "Going Around".
