Agree with the above 100%. The only time I dont meet with them or talk with them are when duties like subs take me away or those few mutual "I'll be standing over hear drinking water" between innings breaks.

Other than that, i like to talk with my partners. I dont during nationals or whatever so i dont get dinged but for my own opinion, I have no use for hanging around in the outfield counting clouds between innings. umps should talk, especially with the noobs for training. You only got one friend out there.. talk with em... when allowed.
