Say what you want about the point but some umps make the pointer look really good, Dale Scott is one, he worked the ALCS game 6 behind the plate, his is nice and crisp. Bruce Froemming had a decent point. Tim McClelland had the laziest one possible...
The point defeats the purpose of the signal. It also tends to draw the umpire's eyes away from the game. With some of the pitchers I know, some of these guys would still be looking at the 1B dugout when the catcher's glove will pop with the next pitch.
