Always remember, you can do some little things to speed up the game or avoid a lot of walks. However, remeber that the game sytill means something to the kids playing. Maybe the winning team has their last 5 guys on the bench in the game, and you can bet they do not play much so they do not want cheated out of their at bat wih a poor strike call. The lower levels you do the more you can help pick up the pace of the game. But I have this happen at Varsity and even up to the D-3 level. I believe that you just call the game the way it should be. If you call a kid out just cause its a close play, or you widen the strike zone, you are now opening yourself up to problems. Remember, in most cases the play, or the game aways means something to someone.
