For the most part, I work with the same people or experienced umpires where our pregames are very fast...a newer guy, I obviously can't take the same things for granted. Thanks for sharing your pregame checklists if you wish.

Thanks,

Pregame for survival:

• Catch/no catch and tags/touches when BU is in A, and when BU is in B or C.
• Rotations with bases empty triple, R1 only, R1 and R3, and R1 and R2 with less than 2 outs.
• When BU will go out from A, and what PU will do when he does
• Signals - infield fly situation, what's the count I forgot, and GLM in the stands
