" . . . will aslo do this as the BU if I have a partner who doesn't have good game management skills."
Let me quote the Oregon Athletic Officials Association "2008 Two Umpire Mechanics Training Manual":
"As plate umpire your OWN the pitcher and catcher . . . you are the only umpire that manages that portion of the game."
And then we continue in another section:
"As Base Umpire keep AWAY from the mound . . . the plate umpire OWNS and MANAGES both the pitcher and catcher . . . all you should worry about with a pitcher is balks and illegal pitches."
If you EVER inserted yourself as you have stated above you would not only be "dinged" on your evaluation you would most likely be assigned to frosh games.
