Given that the number of times I've called the catcher for being out of the box is zero, and the number of times I plan on calling it the rest of my career is zero, and the prevailing opinion here is that zero is the number of the counting and the number of the count shall be zero...

I have int or obs (depending on code) on the catcher.
