Then, we talk about pre-pitch planning and what it should be for you on day one, as well as where it should start to get for you as you can run through these initial things as second nature.

Lastly, in our social media segment, we cover a post that was made about rule 8-10-2. The wording here seems pretty clear, but that didn't stop a huge discussion from being undertaken. As promised during the show, we have the rule for you (to make sure the original poster gave it to us correctly) in the comments on our site and on the episode post on Facebook.

This week we take a look at the following scenarios and what the Plate and Base Umpire should do in each one of them:
* Runner on Third (Hit to Infield)
* Runner on Third (Fly Ball/Line Drive to Infield - ball is caught)
* Runners on first and second, first and third, second and third, or bases loaded (Ball hit to the outfield - ball is caught)
* Runners on first and second, first and third, second and third, or bases loaded (Ball is not caught)

This week, we talk about fly ball coverage responsibilities overall. Then, we move onto specific scenarios for Plate and Base like:
* No Runners On - ball hit to OF and not caught
* Runner on First - same situation
* Runner on Second - hit to the infield
* Runner on Second - fly ball / line drive to the infield, ball is caught
* Runner on Second - fly ball / line drive to the outfield, ball is caught

In this first of three episodes, we start by covering the changes for plate and base umpires for between innings. Next we talk about the emphasis placed on positioning to receive the pitch as the plate umpire. Lastly, we cover the guidance for the starting position of the base umpire with runners on.

We take a look NCAA Rule 10.5.3.3 and at Approved Ruling (AR) 10-8 applying to that rule and have a discussion as to whether this contradicts AR 10-7 and a (only minutely serious) discussion as to whether or not it is David's fault that AR 10-8 was issued at all.

We then move to talking about a question from an umpire about starting in the "C" position and being blocked by the pitcher from seeing the play at first base when making a call.

Next, we talk about a question where an umpire asked what he should do when coaches use profanity. And to finish off the episode, we wrap up with some show updates.

Almost every day across the softball world, something happens in a game that hasn't happened before. As smart as the umpire manual writers were, they couldn't predict and scheme out every possible scenario. So what we're talking about - with some manual-driven examples - is what to look for and how to think in order to be prepared and in position no matter what happens.

In addition, we've given you all homework, so tune in and help us out. Many hands make light work and you can help us figure out a particular point of confusion.

Next, we respond to a question from Jessica in Illinois about how to correctly umpire some player behavior that might be "ethically wrong" and play in the gray area of the rules.

After that, we talk about a video that made the rounds of an umpire taking a pitch after having forgotten to don his mask. That prompts us to talk about how to try to avoid that and leads us into some other tips for newer umpires.

Thanks again to all of the listener feedback that helped drive this - and other - episodes. We desire that feedback and are very grateful.

So this part 2 is really a part 2 in spirit only.

During discussion, we cover topics like correct positioning of your feet, head position and level, torso position, when to drop in, timing of the call, and what to do if we get "crowded out" of our initial or desired position.
