Ump20 had a GREAT suggestion - when the newbie is "done" with HIS pregame at homeplate, he should ask the GV, "Anything to add"?. I AM a GV and I always ask my partner - even if he is a newbie - "Anything to add"? My addled brain being what it is, I regularly forget things we talked about at the car that should be brought up at homeplate (the tree in left center, the chalked-off photographer's line, the bullpen in live ball territory, etc.). You don't get good by yourself!
