Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Are there any examples listed for this? If so, could you put them here?
Thanks again.

I can't list any examples. If I am PU I have a catcher in front of me, and 8 players in the field or we don't play. If I am BU I have my right hand up if I know we don't have the right number of players, both hands up if the pitcher approaches the rubber.

I appreciate the help. This site is obviously for much more experienced and/or dedicated umpires than me. I umpire only occasionally but have seen some inconsistencies and wanted to make sure I was calling things correctly and teaching the game correctly. I played the game at the collegiate level but a lot of things just never come up.

I will not waste everyone's time by bothering with what apparently are stupid questions. I'll buy the recommended readings and find sites more suited for amateurs like me.

Thanks anyway DG. I'll have to get that there BRD.

Don't abandon the site just because some posters are too full of themselves.
