No. The defense is entitled to a total of three conferences in a seven inning game. On the fourth, the pitcher must be removed from that position for the remainder of the game.
If the defense informs the umpire of a pitching change prior to entering the field, any conference does not count toward the total unless it exceeds the allowable time and delays the game.
