good thread.
swinging strikes - ive tried to get into this habit, but it still seems a bit cumbersome and very pointless at times, but its there for a reason...and i know theres a better way to do it, which I am still in the process of working out...
********i speak silently enough so only batter and catcher can hear "strike three, batters out". or on many easy ones I'll just say "batters out". that way, on any uncaught strike three i just say "strike three" and let them figure out the rest. a good attentive catcher will realize i didnt say "batters out" and then go make a play on batter.
on ball four, i announce ball four to get the guy out of the box and keep the game moving, otherwise you'll be standing there for minutes until they realize. such an easy thing to say to avoid having to answer the same 'ol recurring question. which is also why i give the count very frequently.
