I don't see a whole lot of "time limit" games. Some of the games I do see should have a time limit, but that's another subject.
In the games that are timed, I use my watch and nobody sees the exact time except me. I make note of the start time and the limit on the home team's lineup card. By the book, time starts with the first pitch - I'll inform both head coaches after the first half inning what the start time was. And, as long as both teams are moving at the same pace, I don't hurry anyone - it's their game and they have agreed on the pace of the game. If one team hustles and one doesn't, I'll try to move the slow one along.
