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.

I prefer to use the Rollie method by saying "Hey, [Partner's Name], would you like to ask me anything about that play? Go ahead, ask me. I don't mind."
