I was stumped too. Maybe this is in reference to a facemask/helmet worn by the pitcher. She leaves it on the ground during warm-up, then picks it up when its time for a batter.

If so, there is still no reason to change the rules to meet a minor "pet-peave" from an official who obviously has way too much time on his hands. No reason to reduce her amount of pitches if she is still legally within her time limit.
