I can see a need for new umpires to occasionally talk briefly between innings. Generally to just make sure they are on the same page for a situation that happened. As I learn and grow I find the more experienced blues can teach as they go, we don't need to talk about it between innings.
Personally there's enough to do between innings without having a partner who likes to chat.
The only two conversations I had this year were
1) A funny play at 1st, The BU called safe on what looked to the rest of us like a routine out.
2) A partner who wanted to tell me I could not eject someone for something since the protest committee would overturn it.
