Having worked in Seattle for a number of years (first for Perk Pemble and then for Jack Miller) I have told storoes after stories about how well trained NBUA umpires are trained.

Memory fails me as to the last time I actually "talked" to my partner between innings. As a BU I head for RF as soon as the third out is made and stand "mostly" with my back to the infield (maybe turned some to watch for "talent").

I will offer a little "extension" on your statement about the PU placement during 1/2 inning change over. You made it sound like he goes "here" during this 1/2 inning and "here" during the other 1/2 inning. Under EVERY condidtion.

The "correct" direction is for the PU to place himself on the side of the diamond closest to the dugout of the current defensive team.

Selection of dugout by teams can change having the hard and fast rule as you described.

Working with Gooch we had a "sign" for hot babes AND their location so we could do our grazing without a conference.

Keep up your good work!
