Question
SteveJ
During a conversation with a group of umpires a couple of differences of opinions came up - so I thought that I would ask everyone on here their opinions
1. Do you (or should you) call timeout before brushing off the plate the plate? Some said "always" others (a D1 umpire evaluator) said "no"
2. Should the base umpire come set (hands on knees) when F1 steps on the rubber? Again, some said "no" and others said "yes, which indicates to the PU that something illegal can now happen"
Thanks
As for me:
#1 - I call time with runners on.
#2 - I do

It's a pet peeve of mine when I have the bases and partner calls time to clean the plate.
