FWIW, I dont verbalise anything but "strike!" on 1 and 2, but I *point* with one finger, then two fingers, to the side as the case may be. Perhaps no one sees it, but what the h*ll. I give the count after the 3d pitch, and every other pitch after that, except on 3-2, where I give it every pitch. No excuses for not knowing the count, but, yeah, the posts still ask
All S&Ms are silent, with finger point.
on a called K3, I loudly verbalise "strrrrrike" when I grab the chainsaw starting rope, and "threeeeee!" when I crank that thing
on ball 4, I usually just say 'ball' - if the batter doesnt move, Ill say 'ball four, duh'
