Yes, I have been converted. Recognizing that no signal is best because "safe" is misleading, the downside seems to be the fielder now being distracted by our lack of response and the ensuing screaming, yelling, and arguing. I have never thought those kind of downsides justified not calling something correctly.
The question is then, what game management technique(s) to use to get everyone back to playing? What are your suggestions?
