In games like that, it's hard to force yourself to do the same things you would do otherwise... but you need to. Don't let the current attitude of the coach, or the current abilities of the team change the way you manage the game - it's not fair to the other team.
If these guys were delaying on every pitch, a word with the coach was likely in order. Consider the other team's pitcher, shaken from her rhythm by these batters taking picnics between pitches.
