Generally thinking I have things to do in that brief interval between innings. So if I want to speak to my partner it better be pretty darn important. In fact the only time I have was a partner who twice in the 1st inning got in position for the call and never made it. Psst P gotta make a visual and audible call or do something to let us know!
Can't do an appeal on a strike call. So we need a quick appeal when it's ball 4 with a runner on 1st base. The (apparently) forced runners need to know if they are at risk or not.
