As I posted a second ago ... she doesn't HAVE to.

If we are going to be hawks on the time, then she HAS to get her 5 pitches in within 60 seconds. She does NOT have to be ready to also pitch within those 60 seconds. She has to be ready to pitch within 20 seconds of you telling her to pitch. COMPLETELY different things. Don't combine them.
