Read this online today and thought it was interesting:

Ever made a suggestion to a pitcher or any other player like that or anything else? I thought it to be unusual.

He's just trying to help the kid out. Better to tell him to slow down than have him warm up in 45 seconds and have to wait another minute and a half before he can throw another pitch.
