What color bags are you using?

Usually the Navy Blue are much easier for changing your indicator than the grey, ivory, black or powered blue.

The indicator in the ball bag method is the best. Once you do it that way, you'll wonder two things: Why didn't I do it that way sooner? Why do I even have an indicator? It's the first step toward indicator independence.

I became liberated several years when I was negatively evaulated for repeated conversations with my indicator, after each pitch. I admit, it is much harder writing it down on my hand but at least I haven't been zinged. The worst part is when you have a double header and can't remember which game is on which hand.

I had a base partner miss a dropped fly ball because he prematurely called a catch, and then looked away to click the out on his indicator.

You got zinged for looking at your indicator...what else must I do for the 20 seconds in between pitches? It takes me 2-3 seconds to pull it out and add a strike or ball.

I use blue ones.
