My eval of a MLB crew

[SAump]

JK, I applaud your efforts for discussing the finer aspects of MLB officiating. Along with commentary from UES, it provides lower level umpires with legitimate goals for improvement. Many of us {myself for one} are so focused on tweaking basic mechanics and ideal positioning, that we sometimes forget that through-self evaluation like these; there may still be plenty of room left for improvement.

On a side note, what are the rules that MLB uses as far as time between innings, I had no idea that one of the umps had a stopwatch

is this done in NCAA also?

2:05 seconds in between innings on locally televised games
2:35 on national televised games.

Eliminates the silly television referee that you see in football games, wearing a red hat I believe.
