Haven't had any problem calling Batter Up, even if P got zero warm-ups.
One of the things I now do, is that if P is warming up with a game face on the ground. I automatically deduct one warmup pitch from what I would have given her based on when she started.
If she is out there fairly quick, she gets 4.
If she would have gotten 3, she gets 2.
If P wants to wear a game face and get 5 pitches, she will come out of the
dugout with the game face ON.
I do not inform/announce this, I just do it.

Ok....youre posts are usually good....but this one is crap....
"game face on the ground?" WTH does THAT mean, and WHY would it enter into your judgement of how many pitches she gets?
A lot of pitchers have a routine...some like 2 pitches...some like 4, etc..... if they get out there they get to do their thing..... I will actually give a pitcher longer if she was the last hitter, was on base, etc. Not TOO much longer, but longer.
If they are hustling, they will be close to a minute....no problems...I would say if they arent..THEN put them on the clock a little....no need to be overly officious...
edited to ask "WTH does game face on the ground" mean? Am I missing something?
