I say that the warm up of the home team is part of the clock because it just makes sense. Every other inning has a warm up and they are part of the clock so why not the home team's in the 1st inning?

This is why I hate dealing with anything outside the rules and "League rules".

Baseball is not timed - if you want to time it, then you have to time EVERYTHING.


Peace!
What's the basis for the "time of game" listing in the box socre? Is it the end of warm-ups, the time of the first pitch, something else?
