Curious why this is "good practice". I'm not the coach. I don't care how they spend their between-innings time. If they delay play, that's a different story and we have remedies/rules for that... but if they want to run laps or play jacks between innings, I don't care - and neither should any of us on this board. Pitcher/catcher get their 8 or 5 pitches or their minute - THAT is our job... "Hustle in/out!!!!" is bush.
(Note - in the OP, even with what I've said regarding the UMPIRE and HIS desire to "hustle" the team out there, I think the bigger crime is allowing the other coach to say a DAMN thing about what their opponent does between innings.)
