The thread on umpire fees started talking about how early to get to a game. Umpires like HHH and Tim C. get to a game a half hour before it starts and believe that a good pre-game meeting with ones partner is an important part of being a good umpire.
So if getting to the field early is that important, what is it that you talk about in your pregame? I'm not sure I even know how to do one properly or what should be discussed since I have never been to an umpire school or camp and the training from my association is limited.
So I am asking the senior guys here for your pregame checklist. I would like everything from soup to nuts, the whole kittencabodle as it were. Assume I have never been instructed on what a good pregame meeting is or what it should include.
Any takers?
