Scott, I'm not disagreeing with you in the big picture.
Just a word of caution, I know of some umpires who have gotten in a wringer over warning about how a pitcher pitchess she warms up. I certainly want to look at their tendencies, but have encountered numerous pitchers that throw every warmup pitch illegally (run through the plate, step back, slide forward, leap), but throw every pitch in the game legally.
At some levels, you don't want to comment on things that don't matter; pitchers are not required to throw legal warmup pitches.
