The MLBUM list's situations in which another umpire should signal to his partner that he's got something for him on the play. These are to be "inconspicuous" signals used when a call is missed.
Some of the guys I work with like to do this, and some think it's best just to wait for your partner to ask for help. The thought on the latter, being that too many secret signals between umpires erodes the confidence the games participants have in the crew.
I'm curious as to what signals you use in these situations, and in what situations you use them in. That's if you use them at all.
