Do you inform the new pitcher of the game situation, or do you let her figure it out via her teammates and/or coaches?
And if you do inform her, which position (base umpire or plate umpire) does it? What do you tell her?

Personally, as the PU, I remind the batter and catcher. If the catcher chooses to remind the pitcher, that is her option, not to mention part of her job.
As a PU, I rarely talk to the pitcher, but I'm more than happy to communicate with a catcher as long as it is a valid question and does not get ridiculous.
As a BU, I'm in my position, no where near the circle, so there isn't going to be anything said in the field.
