Last weekend I worked a double header but with two different partners. I was assigned bases for the first game and then plate for the second. Now why wouldn't the fresh guy work the plate in the second game?

You should be able to answer that question yourself, DG.

Last weekend was the first weekend of the month. Now, we all know that when you work a double header on the first weekend of the month the umpire on the bases from the previous game gets the dish on the second game with the new partner. Any other weekend of the month the fresh guys gets the dish, unless it's leap year, in which case the first guy who you worked the first game with has to stay and work a three man for the next game, then the the umpire who did the dish has to flip for it to see who works the dish.

Jeesh.... even I knew that.

I heard from his assigned stalker that his rental car reservation was lost.

Maybe the same reason that an MiBL blue wrote in an email.. The replacement is a scrub that is not as good as the actual blue so stick him at 3rd where he could do the least amount of damage. Yes an MiBL ump wrote that concerning the fill in at for the striking Mibl blues.

In reality the crew prolly decided on what would work best for them and went from there. Other than that no reason I imagine.
