I did a tournament game last night - 7 pm start. I'm at the field at 6:40 discussing any special tournament rules, etc. At 6:50, I'm getting baseballs. At 6:52 I'm at the field 100' away and tell the coach, 'you got 3 minutes'. He says why do I only get 3, they had 7'. I said, 'I'm just the umpire ready to start the game'. 6:58 pregame is over, team takes field. 7:00 sharp, First pitch. If I don't say a word, game starts between 7:05 and 7:10. They pay me to start a game on time. So far every game I've done this year has started on time. Telling them to hustle out once in a while keeps the game moving. If that's bush to some, I'll take it any time.
