Agreed. I do this as well, but not as consistently as I should after a steal/passed ball.

Agreed. They're standing on the bases; just look around before you pitch!

Is there ever a time we give the entire field the outs? Other than what I mentioned I do, I never give the outs, unless a smart player has learned to steal my two-out timing play/wiping off IFF sign to my partner.

Yes, when there is confusion about how many outs.
Maybe, when more than one player asks at the same time.
