Use of indicators

[DownTownTonyBrown]

I carry one and use it behind the dish and in the field. I don't spend much time looking at it... in fact someone asks me the count and although I have the count in my head, I think I always look at the idiclickercounter to confirm (CRUTCH).

I do occasionally find that I have clicked a third strike for a foul ball or failed to click a ball after a passed ball. It can be confusing. Keeping track of the count in three different locations (head, clicker, scoreboard) gives plenty of opportunity for error.

Rely on the scoreboard... no way! They're more asleep than I am and actually have the correct count and outs slightly more than half the time (conservative estimation). I'm forever holding up fingers hoping that the scoreboard operator will take notice and make a correction.

The idea of not using a clicker is new to me. I think I will try it.
