Again, I only call SP, but I also enforce the warm-up pitch rules with one exception - the 1st inning (rec league only). Pitchers here don't have anywhere to get warmed up, so I'll let them have 5 or 6 in the 1st inning. After that, it's 3 warm-ups, and everything after that is a ball. If a new pitcher comes in, they also get 3. If it's an actual tourney, it's 3, period.
As the second warm up pitch is being grabbed by the catch, I call out "one more, pitch." After the pitcher gets the final warm-up back from the catcher, I hold up my hand and start moving in behind the plate. If they toss two, I call the first ball.
I almost never have more than 3 warm-up pitches.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
