"Blue foul, eleven" was rammed into my head by one particular camp clinician over the course of several years (same camp UP Mick attended regularly, if anyone out there knew him). Your helpful critique prompts me to say that I don't say the word "number," just give the number while signifying fingerly.
I appreciate your response, Scrapper1.
