Anything else?

Oh, ok. I was reading it as though you were the BU, thats why I was confused.

I agree.

Generally speaking, I give the count when the batter gets to 2 strikes or 3 balls, first time it is a full count and after a lengthy delay between pitches (stolen base, long fly ball that was foul, mound conference, etc).

How about using a hockey style mask without a cap underneath?

I wonder how anyone can take anything from those clowns seriously.

I agree with the ridicule of some of our state's regulations, but that is not necessarily a reflection on the umpires themselves.

I give the count when I deem it necessary. Is this really difficult?

In order to be consistent about this, why don't we ask game management to hire some very attractive young lady, and she can give the count in any manner she likes at any time? Players would certainly look over at her and see the count , so as not to lose track of where the "counter" is.
