Odd indicator
What's wrong with this indicator?

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

It has an un-needed dial for balls?

It's the one that I use.
Or is this a "Where's Waldo" question about the image?

The innings wheel only goes from 1-9. Where's the zero?

Softball doesn't often see games go 10 innings, but for those who call baseball, this could be an issue.

I hope "innings" is spelled correctly on the indicator, as opposed to the description.....

There were two games this last week at a Northern National that went 12 innings!! One was almost 3 1/2 hours long!! But don't worry the scoreboards didn't go past 9 either

I was out on the bases during one National game that went 12 innings. It was Men's "E" SP, and one team would always get a runner in scoring position, only they couldn't subsequently keep the ball in the park.

I have no idea why any umpire would need to know the inning.

Although that is my indicator of choice, I never use the innings wheel, except in some friendlies where there is no scoreboard. But then it is so infrequent that I doubt that I remembered to click to the next inning.

That was always my problem the few times I used an 'innings' indicator..

I HATE the people I work with - some of whom are pretty good umpires - who pull that little piece of paper after every half inning and write the score down.....just a pet peeve. It looks amateurish to me frankly. Me - I will stroll over to a scorekeeper later in the game and casually go "Top/bottom 5, right? Score?" - and leave it at that.

And yes, I know someone has said they don't care wha the score is - well, I DO - despite everything we do not do these games in a total vacuum....

Our scoreboard failed tonight. Having the innings wheel helped keep track of the game's pace.
