My wrist watch, which I put in the half-pocket in my ball-bag.
Before we break from the plate conference, I tell the coaches that the time begins on the first game pitch. After the first pitch comes in and F2 is throwing it back, I look at the time and make a mental note. At the half-inning, I write it on one of the lineups for reference. I then add the time limit (i.e.: do the math) at that time while I'm waiting and write that right below the first time.
When the coach asks me how much time is left, I look at my watch and tell him. If he questions further, I can pull out the lineup and show him that I noted the time earlier.
