I have found that using an indicator on the bases is more distracting than helpful. I do use it when I'm working the plate but realize I hardly ever refer to it, only on those situations after something unusual happens and I want to reassure myself that I have the correct count.

You can always tell a rookie umpire by the way he calls a pitch and then immediately buries his face in the indicator. Drives me nuts.
