Number of Warm-up pitches?

Safety? What are you talking about? The only additional personel on the field is the manager who is talking to the pitcher. The Federation ain't that concerned with coach safety as they allow coaches to warm up pitchers without a helmet.

There are about 10,000 dangerous things which go on in each game. It is not your job to be the safety police and try to protect everyone. Last time I checked, it was possible to choke on chewing gum, so I always warn the coaches at the plate meeting that anyone caught with gum will be ejected, as will the manager for allowing his players to partake in such an unsafe practice. It's just my way of protecting everyone.
