I was ahead of my time. A few years ago, I started taking a stopwatch out as the between innings time was getting out of hand. I started telling both coaches that the pitchers needed to get out quicker, because once we hit the time, I'd call out "one more pitch" and off we'd go. After one pitcher got 2 warmups, they figured out I was serious. Our games were going 3.5+ hours and I was sick of it. Naturally, after a few of these dates, I get an email from the assignor telling me to knock it off.
That was my last season of college baseball -- I quit at the end of the year. Working a 6+ hour DH for $185 more than 2 hours from home for coaches that thought they were the second coming of Earl Weaver lost its luster for me.
