This is JMO of course, but this is how I handle rubbing up the baseballs.
I arrive at most games about 1 hr. before gametime. At that point, I pay a visit to the head coach, AD, or whoever to inform them that I'm there, so you will have at least 1 umpire today. Then I ask for a supply of baseballs. If they give them to me, I rub 'em before I get dressed. If they choose to not have me rub 'em up before that, I let them know that their pitchers don't like pearls, they usually take care of it.
