Here at the lower levels(sub varsity and youth ball), we are encouraged to holler "hustle in and out," and most umpires do this just to keep things going. If they don't, that's bad on them
I love it when they don't hustle, then wonder why the catcher is throwing the ball down to second base and they didn't get a chance to warm up. I'm brushing the plate and ready to go to work. 8 and down for a new pitcher, 5 and down for returning pitchers, and I count 'em. I do not tolerate unnecessary delays.
