Mine comes out more like "two more" followed by "last chance", and finally "no soup for you".

"HAH" on strikes 1 and 2.
"HIKE HREE" on a punchout.

Since when do we verbalize a swinging strike?

I can only think of a couple of situations where we would verbalize anything on a swing:
1-Check Swing - "He went;"
2-Swinging strike three, possibly in the dirt - either "That's a catch, Out" or "Three, no catch."

bossman,

I like - crisp, short, not overly dramatic. Being new to this, I'm still prone to a bit of scenery chewing, so anything to tone done (where appropriate) can only improve my games. Thank you.

STRIKE !

It used to be HIKE when I wore a mask (couldn't get the STR out), but then I switched to a helmet, and magically, I could pronounce S's again ! (no pressure on your chin)

OMG. And I thought you couldn't more ridiculous about the mask/helmet thing than you already had. Onced again, I've been proven wrong.
