Ground rules is a job. You can establish ground rules.. or it can be covered by simple statements like "if it goes through the fence, throw your hands up and__________________ " whatever the ground rule is.

Having fences repaired for a hole pregame is not part of your job. If it was a safety issue ONLY.

It could happen, but its simply not.

I work hundreds of games a year, no one starts directing grounds crew to fix holes.

That is pregame only.

You guys are playing holier than thou pretend to simply make an argument. If you do start fixing stuff pregame which is not safety related, then that is lame, beyond your job as an official, and a waste of everyones time.. furthermore VERY smittyish.
