Speeding up games from the bases

I absolutely hate this coming from umpires, base or plate. It's not your job to "hustle" the little girls along. All we can do is hustle ourselves, and be prepared when the timing mechanisms built into the rules need applied. Yelling at them to "here we go" only shows everyone else on the field that you have somewhere else to be. You're paid per game, not per minute.

What you said first - talking with your PU - is the best resolution here.
