I'd suggest calling the games from behind the mound. I don't know that I agree with the idea of grabbing a hold of a catcher or punishing an entire team because their catchers not a decent backstop. As fas as moving the games along, I like Steve's suggestions, but I would add that you need to cut off any warm up pitches if they can't get on the field in a timely manner. Don't let them throw the ball down, just call for a batter when the catcher gets to his box.
