Notched Indicators

Try the No notch, No braille, No indicator system. All you have to do is remember the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. The rest is in your brain. No crutches to lean on.

And this is the best part yet. The Cost, NO Dollars.

This was the first year I tried it. I went the whole season with my clicky indicator thingy-mo-bob in my equipment bag out by the hamburger stand. Didn't use it in a single game.

I must admit, I did loose the count a couple times, maybe three times, and had to have my partner help me. But I bet you loose the count even when you are using your clicky indicator thingy-mo-bob. And probably more than three time in a season.

I did better without one. Consciously keeping track keeps you more aware of the game situation. Catchers and batters don't get to use one and they seem to keep track pretty well.

I say carry one in your equipment bag (not your ball bag) just in case your partner wants to borrow one.

Look Ma! No crutches!
