I try to verbalize the count only once during the at-bat and that is when the next pitch is a "money" pitch. Either 3 balls, x strikes, or x balls, 2 strikes. If the first two pitches of the at-bat are strikes, I will tell the batter he/she has two strikes and will signal the count but don't verbalize the count until the first ball.
I will signal the count to the BU(s) whenever a runner has advanced on their own, passed ball, steal, etc. or the BU gives me a lost count signal.
