Our duties and responsibilities, by and large, are very clearly laid out for us. MLB just seems to like to throw more umpires out there. I'm not so sure it does any good.
I'm waiting for them to put umpires at the warning track.

I have long felt anything more than 3 umpires is just for show. And having six out there doesn't help the guys in Williamsport, either...
BTW, I have done two games with a 6-man crew. They were championship series games at a LL softball regional, and if I wasn't working 1B for one of them I probably would have gone to sleep.
