Thank You.
I thought it was me at first.
Isn't it 5 pitches or one minute between innings?
Should it ever have gotten to 7 pitches?
The point is, don't let them have any more than the prescribed amount of warm-up " pitches "
Those are for the pitcher to warm up his arm, not the coach or the catcher. When the catcher returns ( if the coach is warming up the pitcher ), it's " play ball " time .
My perspective only.

UH OH . . . .
Just reread the post.
They were changing pitchers.
Seventh pitch was OK.
My Bad. Sorry.
However, the rest of my post was still right on in my book.
Only prescribed amount of pitches regardless who is catching them.
