Last nite I had a pitcher that was losing her edge so the coach asked for time to go to the mound. After a minute or so, he switches his pitcher and his short stop. As his new pitcher starts her warm up pitches, a girl comes out to the infield with a ball to warm up the short stop (replaced pitcher.) I made her go back to the dugout as the pitcher is the only one that needs to warm up. Coach got upset and asked to talk to me. He asked why his ss couldnt warm up. I said that the pitcher is the only one that is entitled to warm up throws. I said she has been in the game all along so why does she need to warm up? He said she has been throwing underhand all this time and needs a few overhand throws. I just smiled at him and said C'mon coach....Lets play! He was very serious and ticked the rest of the game. Ive never had this before and wonder how you all would have handled this. Should the infield be allowed to throw while the new pitcher is warming up also? DanIn
