I like "strike 3"

I hate "ball 4"

I like strikes and outs!

I guess it's not really our job to make sure everyone knows it's ball four, but it can sure help to avoid a $h1t storm if there are runners forced by the award.

Most people's signals (some might say antics) differ significantly on strike three from strikes 1 and 2, especially on a called strike 3. But there is no reason for us to say strike three. And if you don't buy it coming from me or the other guys here that agree ... please watch MLB, MiLB, or NCAA guys - they don't do it either.
