I'm with you LMan. My mechanics exactly.
Now, I know there are lots of umpires at all levels, that will look to the side where a pitch was outside (can't see that from the dugout), as an indication of where it missed, which I think is fine. But there is NO need to indicate if a pitch was High or Low, as you can see that from the dugout.
