Dave,
I feel the same way you do. I have always pointed strikes and hammered outs. Even before the Eddings incident, it just didn't seem smart to me to have the same visual signal for two different calls. When you point a strike, there is no way to get screwed on that call. If there is any uncertainty about an out, a subsequent hammer clears away any confusion. On a check swing hammer strike, one has to make sure that the signals given are interpreted correctly by the emphasis given or sequence of signal. The hammer can and does work, but the potential for error and confusion is also there. I'd rather adhere to the K.I.S.S. principle and save myself any explanations about how my hammer was really just a strike and not really an out. Personally, I think nice point for a strike looks better. IMHO.
