In more rec/ informal league play, I run into the problem of walking onto the field with my partner, and having the home team already throwing the ball around, ready to go, and on the field warming up. The pitcher already has the game ball (even if its 5-10 minutes before game-time). It's like when they see us starting to walk from the field they just get ready.
So then I have to play a game with the home team coach. "Hey, lets do pregame over here". What should my response be to that?
I know it should be done at homeplate, but when the pitcher has the ball, am I going to just stand there and piss off a coach for a logistical reason?
This only pretains to games where there isn't a TD, because they will provide the balls of course.
