Excellent thing to do. It usually is in mine.
We had this above play tonight but we had not talked about it. My partner was someone I have called with often and we kind of skimped on the pre-game. I was PU and think I did what my partner was expecting... as soon as the play happened, he just pointed at first base and looked straight at me. I was near home.
I wasn't 100% sure what he was asking so I just looked back at him. It seemed like a long time, but actually was probably just a second or so, maybe even just a ½ second. He didn't ask anything and just kept pointing at the bag and looking at me. (Our checked swing appeal mechanic is to always verbalize "Did she go?" Maybe I should have said, "What? You talkin' to me?"
)
Even though he didn't verbalize the question, I gave the swiping "pulled her foot" motion and then he gave the safe signal. It worked well, but we should have been prepared by discussing it in the pregame.
