I say "play" only half the time, normally only with runners on base, but I always raise my right hand about head height, frame it like a pistol, and snap a point at the pitcher, even with no runners on base. I can never recall a problem with no runners on, but I have had a number of pickoffs disallowed, with no arguement, because I had not snapped off that point.
