The "out at two" and "safe at one" cries were headed towards being an epidemic about three years ago.
We found it directly associated with umpires that had come to us from Little League. That is not an attack just a fact.
We still hear it from time-to-time and try to, as Barney Fife often intoned, "Nip it in the bud, nipo it in the bud."
AND, I still will never say "batter's out" . . . I will work on the "catch, no catch" with safe sign as directed in the e-mail I received from the people assocaited with umpire development.
