I don't subscribe to definite when-to's when it comes to the count. I feel this is all part of game management, such as when to clean the plate without having to call time. My style will differ from yours, I'm sure, but if the base ump has to ask me for the count, then one of two things are happening: 1) I'm not managing my game right, or 2) he's not paying attention. There is a rhythm and flow to every game. Find it, establish it, whatever, and you will be allright.
