I point at the bat, make my swinging strike mechanic, and say "strike" a tad louder than I would ordinarily.

Your move.

Well I'll admit to being a bit confused about the question, which is why I avoided answering until now. What do I do on an unchecked bunt swing? Point at the batter with the left hand, verbalize "He went" and signal with the "Wilma" hammer.

Ace, when you say "and say 'strike' a tad louder than I would ordinarily," are you saying you ordinarily verbalize swinging strikes?
