No legit basis for reducing to 3, if under 1 minute.

Why do some umps have to play "gotcha" or worry about every second later they will get home?

"game face on the ground" - no idea what this means!
Multiple posts with the same question:
The Game Face is a brand name of a protective mask that pitchers and some corners will wear as a protective device.

If under 1 minutes, they get 5 pitches, no question.

I am willing to bet a steak dinner that there isn't a pitcher who out there who has taken all 5 warmup pitches AND THEN put her protective gear on in less than 61 seconds.
