If the Minnesota weather is typical, I will let the pitchers tell me when they are ready for the first inning only - they usually are ready anyway, and just take five. Then, I will let the catcher know that five will be the max for the rest of the game. We start most of our games at 4:15, so sunlight isn't an issue. Maybe the umpire had another commitment?
