Where does one start...

Nature of the beast. Install the old rule of calling runners out if you see them miss a base w/o appeal. Some coaches will always be around...like the ones who teach their runners to leave early on the pitch until it's called. Longer and better pregame meeting between partners. I think we all get a little lazy on this with work schedules and ball umpiring schedules are becoming so close together. It's something that we all assume the partner will know and that is not always the case. Then again I've done ball games all the way up to the National level when umpires don't know the mechanics of the 3 person system either. Have to wonder what their state associations are really teaching them.
