Partner Loses Count

[SWFLguy]

I've worked with a few guys that don't use them on the field and even one guy who didn't use one on the plate. I always carry mine, and am not afraid to communicate verbally if I lose track of the count or outs. Communication should be stressed. After a steal, if I'm on the plate, I will visually give my base umpire(s) the count. If I'm on the base I look to the plate umpire for verification.
