"We (as PU) use a little hand signal to tell the other guy (BU) that we saw a pulled foot"
-----------------------------------------------------
Be seriously concerned folks. Be seriously concerned.
Stick with the signals as listed in the books (or in quality umpire manuals and documents).
Since we work straight CCA mechanics:
In Portland we use "Infield Fly" (and take-off).
We use rotations -- generated by either umpire. Example with R1 we give and confirm the direction of the rotation and who will be where.
We use (with R1 and R2 and less than two out)that the BU has the catch and tag of a fly ball and the PU will have the play at third.
As PU we also signal if we plan to stay at the dish during a specific play.
Some in our group give the "Time Play" signal.
We use all the normal verbal signs (ex: "I'm on the line, I've got third').
We longer verbalize when the BU 'goes out' from "A". We read the BU's back.
Many of us use the "foul tip" signal far less than others.
I am sure there are other "real" signals we use. We don't use ANY 'secret signals'.
