In fairness, this rule for me usually comes into play when the upcoming batter is off with
their head in their but instead of ready to go so they start calling the girl..
Me: Batter up..
scrambling around rustling in the dugout
coach: "hey wheres karlee, get her up there, youre supposed to be ready"
Me: BATTER UP or I'm calling a strike"
coach: "hurry he's gonna call a strike".
Girl runs out, bat betwen her legs, gloves in her teeth, holding her helmet trying to get the helmet on.
Me: "I need a batter"
helmets now on, she starts putting on a glove
Me to self "9, 10"
"Strike One"
She drops the other glove in the dirt and comes running to the box.
So we dont even really need 1-8 or mississippi.
