I occasionally work places where the book/and or scoreboard may not be too accurate. Sometimes in our pregames we'll go over these situation, and make sure everyone is on the same page. If the scoreboard is showing 3-1, and the PU's indicator says 2-1, but he just got clocked by a foul ball, he might go to me for a silent confirmation before he corrects the book. Happens all the time. |

The only time that I show the count while BU is 3-2 2 out with a runner on base. I've picked this up from pro level umpies. I think it's just a way for all of us to know hey, runner might be/is moving on the pitch, and to hold your ground worry about the ball rather than the runner

I don't subscribe to definite when-to's when it comes to the count. I feel this is all part of game management, such as when to clean the plate without having to call time. My style will differ from yours, I'm sure, but if the base ump has to ask me for the count, then one of two things are happening: 1) I'm not managing my game right, or 2) he's not paying attention. There is a rhythm and flow to every game. Find it, establish it, whatever, and you will be allright.

We have the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines next month, and this city was too cheap to hire 24 hour security for the course, and it was badly vandalized last week. Totally stupid. It could only happen in America's Cheapest City (but not to live in, mind you...).
