1) Rule a ball on the batter for each additional ball thrown by the shortstop after you are prepared to play ball (a la additional warm up tosses) or charge the defense with another conference.

Speaking ASA.
This is a stretch on the wording of the rule. The rule never specifically states that the pitcher must be the player taking the warm-up pitches, or that they must be thrown to the catcher, or that they must be from the pitcher's plate or they must be underhand. So, basically, what you really have is a one-minute suspension of play for the defense to prepare for the due batter.
