I guess you do not work many games or your association has an abundance of umpires so each crew only gets 1 maybe 2 games per day. That's not how it is in my area.

In a tournament with time limit games it's not uncommon to have 4 games each day (nice pay-day)

I do not know about you but I would rather change ONCE rather then TWICE.

In addition you MAY get one game with the Mercy rule.

It's no BIG deal.

IMO, the optimum solution is to have 3 guys cover the ENTIRE day, that way each umpire gets plenty of rest.

In a nutshell I do not understand your comment as it's NOT SILLY but PRACTICAL
