I never know how many people are going to be at one of my games so 100 people or 40,000 just changes the noise level.
I've been on the news and in the papers so I guess that qualifies me as "being there".
I've been on fields and in stadiums.
We all have the pre-game butterflies and jitters. The question is how long does it take to get rid of them and do your job?
As far as 4 man and 6 man crews, I agree LL is probably trying to get the umpires into more games and keep everything covered.
As far as not working together, well the teams practice why not the umpire crews? When we set up 4 and 6 man crews for end of season work, we all meet and have a little workout then go to dinner (and talk umpiring). When the game rolls around, we usually work without problems. But I guess LL doesn't feel that it's high quality umpires need to work out together!
