I don't see anything that gives the offense that same minute.
Timed game, defense needs to get back to bat, they hustle on the field and catcher throws down right away. 15-20 seconds tops.
Do they have the right to say "let's go, we're ready?"

There is also nothing in the rule book that says the offense must be ready at the beck and call of the defense. There is 1 minute allowed, and I (the umpire) have no rule to enforce unless or until that minute has elapsed.
