Refrain from idle chatter with your partner or game participants, monitor the number of warm-up pitches, and encourage the teams to hustle in and out.
3 hour games suck for everyone involved.

And I've noticed that alot of time gets wasted when this happens. The plate umpire usually will lose count of the warm up pitches being thrown, and just give a count of how many the pitcher has left.
Also, after I've started just waiting in right field, I notice how irritating it is when the BU comes by me between innings. I'm like everyone else, I love fast baseball games, as an ump and as a spectator.
