Who writes your material, Jay Silverheels?
Read the whole sentence. Pay attention to the first part. Now find, in any umpire mechanic book, rule book, binder or casebook, instructions to the umpire or any mention that keeping score or keeping track of innings is the job of the umpire. Be sure to report back to us. We'll wait.
In the meantime: that is what the debate was about. Is this part of the job of the umpire? Is it? No.
Now then, if you think it helps you, by all means do it. I don't shiv a git. But it is not the umpire's job, plain and simple.
Does it get done? Hopefully. By whom? Someone else.
Now you can see where the second part of the sentence came from. It is someone elses' job.
