The PU can lose track of the count, and it's good to have backup from the BU. How many times, after a pitch--a passed ball, a wild pitch, a steal, a catcher's pickoff attempt, or a foul that the fielders had a play on but missed--have you wondered, "Did I click it?"

I've also looked down at my indicator and seen an impossible count--most likely from failing to reset it after some distraction. The only time I was 100 percent accurate was in a one-man game in which I had forgotten my indicator and kept track on my fingers. I was so afraid of losing the count that I was conscious of it at every moment.

With several guys I work with, we routinely check the count with each other after every instance where we might have failed to click the pitch. Also, either one of us can flash the indicator to the other, meaning, "Give me the count."
