Signals / discussions

[FUBLUE]

I prefer to have all conversations (save a check swing appeal or something of the like) in private. I just think it allows umpires to put their heads together and answer the question/solve the problem without holding a conversation for the world to hear.

If coach wants an explanation, then we provide him with one.

Had a partner once change a check swing call from yes to no to yes based on who yelled the loudest from the dugout/coaches box.

Needless to say that the rest of the game wasn't a lot of fun.
