We do not have SA's in most cases. I just don't cover anything other than line ups and ground rules at the plate meeting.

That game is over. I do not discuss anything that happened in a previous game under any circumstances (this includes double headers).
We've discussed the plate meeting ad infinitum on this site. What I am stating here is nothing new. I realize that some umpires feel the need to use the plate meeting as a "learning center" or a pulpit. I never bought into that theory and never will. I keep the plate meetings short and to the point. In the 2nd game of a double header, give me the line up cards and let's get going.
