Let's hustle in & out, guys!

[B]I am also confused. NHFS Rule 6-2-c (exc.) states; "The starting pitchers may warm up by using not more than eight throws, completed in one minute(timed from the first throw). When a pitcher is replaced during an inning or prior to an inning, the relief pitcher may not use more than eight throws. At the beginning of each subsequent inning, the pitcher may warm up by using not more than five throws, compleated in one minute..."
I always allow the starting pitchers eight throws in the first, than five. Do I have a regional "New England" rule book? I think not. Also, during spring/fall ball, when the temp. is below 40, I allow them to "warm" up as long as they need, although I have never had any pitcher use more than eight. /B]
