I attended a MLB game yesterday in very hot weather, around 90 degrees, probably even hotter on the field.
I noticed that none of the base umpires drank any water during the whole 2 hr 50 min game, except when someone from the visitor dugout took some to the 3rd base ump and I think that was actually soda. Didin't see the PU drink anything either, but didn't watch all the time.
I was able to watch their positioning and rotations a bit, though.
