Reply to "Dropped 3rd Strike"

I agree with JWC... your voice is sometimes the best tool. When there is a third strike caught, the out is verbalized. "Batter Out"... If it is dropped I just call "Strike" and point down. I do not verbalize ball on the ground. It is a good suggestion, but wonder if that would put the PU in the position of "tipping off" a team that may not be aware of the situation. If the batter was sleeping on the play and then bolted to first because he heard the "ball down" call. Would be interested in more experienced opinions.
