Carl, you've just activated the "balls and strikes are the plate umpires job" reactionary forces.

Like you, I carry my indicator for plate or bases.

Just the other day my normal partner and I were joined by one of the big dogs from another association. My partner remarked about having his indicator with him, and the big dog said "what for?, you don't need it". Rather than get into a fruitless debate, I just whispered to my regular partner "If I happen to need help, I'll know better than to ask him".

Usually, nothing exciting happens, but on those rare occasions where I have any doubt, it sure feels good to know he's got my back. It also looks better to have an indicator to look at when asked to verify, rather than appear to be guessing.

One doesn't need an indicator to know the count.
