It's not common practice to check these things here....

Are you speaking of Fed ball? Minus 5 is meaningless, more less, these days. We look for the BESR logo.
And, exactly where is this place, "here", where umpires do not check bats or helmets?

I had the home team throw three helmets out (or at least get them out of the dugout) last week.
In WI, we check all bats for the BESR seal (and feel them to ensure they are not flattened), and check all lids to make sure they have the NOCSAE seal and have no cracks. ANY crack gets it tossed.
BTW, I check all bats and lids in college games too.
