Wait! Is there no forums for ring-ups?

How do you ring up the batter on a looking strike three?

 

P.S.:  I know the topic is grammatically incorrect.  Should be ARE there no forums for ring-ups?

I do a Macarena combined with the Cha Cha Slide. It's quite complex, and definitely gets the teams swinging the bats after they see it once.

How about Gary Darling, who has the same exact mechanic on strike 3 as 1 & 2. What's up with that

I have a ring up with no runners on that is different than with runners on. The idea is to keep eyes forward with runners on

I watched the video. Don't do these videos.

They are funny and sad. They all smack of,"look at me". The game is for the players. We want the players to be stars. If we can get on and off the field without anyone noticing us that would be the ultimate. We have a local umpire that is so loud that people laugh, turn down their hearing aids and look at each other in bewilderment. Dogs run and moms cover their children's ears.

Balls should be loud enough for dugouts to hear and strikes should be loud enough for grandstands to hear.- Jim Evans.

I really would like to see video of myself. I call a very loud "HIIIIIKE!!!!!" So loud, in fact, that I've been told it's TOO loud. I tried to tone it down. Felt awkward. So I went back to my normal loud called strike. My called K3 varies a bit. Not dependent on baserunners or anything. Apparently, I just switch it up from time to time without forethought. My "usual" is to throw my left hand up, palm down with the call "HIIIKE!!" then I drop back a step and crank the chainsaw facing forward, while raising my left foot off the ground and leaning back a bit with the "THREE!!!!"

A former partner dubbed it the "karate kid"

Flathanded Leaf blower/lawnmower, turning sideways T. Barrett style with an Iwakuma foot kick for flair. "STTTREEEEIIIIIAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEE OUUUUUUUUTEEEEEEEE." My voice always cracks, hence the moose joke.

We wouldn't be noticed if daddy coaches would quit yelling at us from the first pitch to "Be consistent." *sarcasm*
