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.

In your original post you made it clear that you had changed the rules to fit your dislike of the pitcher leaving her mask on the ground. You clearly stated, unless I misunderstood, that you automatically deduct one pitch
from what she would have gotten originally. I simply pointed out that the rule book gives her 1 minute, despite where her mask is laying. You have no authority as a umpire to deduct from her number of warm up pitches based on wearing or not wearing a mask.
Whether she can accomplish everything she wants to in less than one minute was not your statement or the basis of my argument. The deduction of one pitch from what she would have gotten originally is my point of contention.
