3rd and 5th is easy to remember, effecient and quite appropriate. Certainly not the dumbest suggestion on the board
Brand new umpires who need direction on something like this need a lot more help than this.

Who cares if they give the count after every pitch as long as it doesn't seem clunky or robotic?
