Communication with your partner should be limited between innings to only NECESSARY conversation. All that other stuff should have been taken care of in your pregame with your partner or discussed for learning after the game. I am also curious why you are accepting pay to do LL work? Better yet, why are the leagues paying umpires for LL, especially UNTRAINED ones? It is a volunteer organization.

No, Striker991.
I would not consider LLBB to be a totally volunteer organization. Though many of us volunteer, many more receive money in this area.
I was asked to help the young ump, by him and by his assignor, and I was happy to accomodate. Watching him mature as the game progressed was a good thing.
