Del-Blue, guess I should have been more selective in the
way I posted. I just hate it when there are two outs and
the catcher is on base and the inning ends. Most catchers
are slow enough putting on the equipment. Just trying to
utilize a time control option.

I agree, and what get's me more, is that often no one else gets out there to warm up the pitcher. There are four coaches standing around, six girls in the dugout, and they just stand there.
That being said, I have to mention something I saw last week. Had the catcher on base (HS Varsity game) when third out is made. I believe she was on second. By the time she hit the dugout, there were four other girls there looking like a NASCAR pit crew---one for each shin guard, one for the chest protector and one with the mask and the glove. From the last out it took MAYBE 20 seconds before she was taking the first warm up pitch. I complemented the coach...he said nothing burns him more than to see a catcher putting on their stuff and other girls goofing off in the dugout. (He's a former catcher, I take it).
