I used DG's post and added my take:

"Off the bag" - only need at first base and done with hand signals

"On the tag" - I like the non-verbal signals on this play

"Show me the ball" - only needed if doing what I call "small ball" - kids that don't shave

"Safe, Ball's on the ground" = I simplify this to SAFE! Then if needed I pont to the ball

Verbals I use:

"Yes he did" - I like to say "he went"

"No catch" - while signaling a safe, anytime it matters (good mechanic)

"That's obstruction" - while pointing. I know some guys don't like to use a signal but I like to use the obstruction signal still.

thanks
