The game is over 100 years old, how much new stuff is there to cover?

Not much, but not everyone has the same knowledge, experience, and abilities. I'd rather know 30 minutes before game-time that my partner doesn't know where to be in some situation than to have that situation happen while his back is turned.

1) Make eye contact - we can't work together if we don't see each other. 2) Fair/Foul - we all know bag and beyond, use it, but be ready to give or receive if needed espeacially in the cut-out and the dirt circle (make eye contact and read your partners) 3)Half-swing - give me what you have and if you use feel comfortable with 2 strikes where the ball is not caught, give what you have as soon as you can 4) Out-field coverage - there is no straight back, the fielder either opens to you or to me, go off of that. (unless we work a lot and we we can switch if we are good at making eye contact and under stand 3-man well enough to be able too.) 5) Ball pins U3 with no one on - U1 help a brotha out and cover B/R into 2nd. 6) Pick up tag-ups when you can - don't leave your responsibilities, but if you have nothing going on, keep umpire and help out. (i'd write down examples, but don't want to put it in writing here, haha) 7)With new NCAA mechanic of U1 @ 1st with 2 out, read U3 and let him dictate if we reverse rotate or if we hold. 8) PU can expect help on dropped 3rd strike from wings - closed fist up and very visible, don't hide it. 9) 20/90 sec clock - get it and get it early (no slack) 10) if you need help, get it - but we all get together 11) if you eject someone walk away - don't run away, just eject and walk, after about 10-15 feet it is ok to stop and hold, no need to keep walking in circles as he is chasing you, looks bad 12) have fun, stay loose, don't screw up, and don't worry if you do as most coaches don't fully understand the rules anyway ![]() |

Last weekend I had a series with two new partners, and it was my first 3-man game of the year. We were all there over an hour early for the first game, but I'd say we put together a good 30 minutes of pre-game talk (coverage, responsibilities, tendencies, typical ground rules, 20/90 second clock talk, etc). On top of that, we discussed tendencies of the coaches since both partners are experienced in that conference. Additionally, we talked about one of the teams being notorious for sticking elbows into pitches, and that actually paid off. |

2 minutes, on walk to the field or while dressing. Sometimes, partner will ask about a situation not mentioned that came up in another game and we cover that. Otherwise, play ball. I usually work with experienced partners I have worked with before. Sometimes I work with someone I have worked with a lot and, shame on us, no pregame.
