Ways to identify a rookie umpire;
1. Pointing the runner to first base on a base on balls.
2. Burying his face in the indicator after every pitch.
3. Screaming "Foul Ball" instead of just "Foul".
4. Screaming "Foul" on a foul ball that goes straight back to the backstop.
5. Calling pitches in the dirt strikes. (because they don't track the pitch all the way to the glove)
6. Granting excessive time requests.
These are just the ones that immediately come to mind.
