Should make an interresting conversation if SS comes out and takes 5 warmup pitches and then defensive coach wants someone else to pitch, who should get 8, right, since ball was not live SS was just fooling around.

 First, if the ball is not dead in OBR, why do umpires start each half inning with "Play!"?
Second, no matter who's goofing around on the mound the "pitcher" gets 60-90 seconds to warm up.
