Always "Play" to start the game...
Year or so ago, worked some Cal State Fullerton scrimmages in the off-season. Worked with a well respected, long-time D1, Big West guy. He told me to mix it up some. Dont say "Play" every single time.
--Always verbalize, even with no runners.
--Mix it up...Use "Play" "Here we go" or late in the game, close game , runners on "We're going" and point..
I asked if that how its done at that level. He said yes, you rarely hear "Play" every single time. Interpreted as little league-ish. I use "Play" at the start of the game and start of each inning. I use "Here we go" most of the time. And I bust out the "We're going" once or twice.
Works for me, and the players at this level know whats going on.
My 3 cents
