umpire-catcher courtesies
Do any of y'all practice courtesies to batters or catchers who've just been nailed by a pitch/foul ball? I've sorta developed a habit of taking my time to brush the plate, as well as checking the game ball, reloading my ball bags while the hitter stumbles down towards 1st to give her a chance to catch her breath, and then take my time getting back behind the catcher for the next pitch. I do the same with catchers who get their bell rung on a foul ball.
do you ever address your catchers by name (it's not that hard to learn names of players you see often)?
