Never look for trouble trouble will find you. This is a matter of game control. When the inning is over check the dugout. If the catcher is getting his gear on ask the coach to "get someone out here to warm up your pitcher". If the catcher is hustling out there count the pitches and at the appropriate time say going down on the next one. Never bring a watch out players aren't allowed to wear jewelry so you shouldn't have jewelry on. Never saw this rule enforced and never heard of it being enforced. If a new pitcher is starting the inning don't allow the catcher to talk to him before he warms up. Tell him once he goes down to 2 he can talk to the pitcher. By the time the infield throws the ball around 99% of the time the catcher will be walking to his position. If he's not break up the conference.
Hope this helps.
