After 3 warm up pitches, I tell the catcher that's it. Pitcher throws fourth pitch. I call ball. Coach from bench asks what am I doing? I say he only gets three. Coach says no, he gets SEVEN. I say no, ASA is three, all the time for every new inning and every new pitcher, take a look at the book. (I'm hoping that I am right, and pretty sure that I am, else I would not have been so confident to contradict my boss in front of the whole game. But I stuck to my guns, politely) Game continues. He looks it up in the book, and next inning announces that I was correct. Whew!

Anyone ever had a boss/UIC question you like that during a game? How did it work out?
Bluefoot,

Just remember, when doing the real game FP, it is five warm
ups or 1 minute.
However, except in championship play that is usually changed
to five first inning and three there after.
