I just don't believe you can put a set number on the amount of games to be called each day by the blues. I understand it's also dependent on the number of umpires you can find to call that weekend. You just can't cover all situations with just one set guideline for games played.
Apparently, a few people did not notice that is specifically said consecutive games.

I never said some people cannot handle it, obviously, you did. I'm just do not believe it should be something that is permitted if it can be avoided, nor should it be allowed just because an umpire wants to do it.

As before, JMHO,
