What is wrong with that? Isn't that what we all use?

I just say "1-2" or whatever the count is. I usually give the count after the third, fifth, and seventh pitches unless the next pitch will lead to a walk or strikeout. (3-0 or 0-2 count) In that case, I just say "3 balls" or "2 strikes" and nothing else.

I've worked with a partner who, when the count was 2-2, he'd put up the two fingers on each hand and yell, "Pairs!"

I'm sitting there asking myself, "WTF? We playing poker here?"

I couldn't get him to stop this, so one time when he did this, from the bases I yelled, "I'm all in!"

I'm surprised he did not say double duece....

I don't think the big blind was good enough.

In my corner of the world we use one fist and shout "it's loaded", or "I'm loaded" if it's a beer league!
