No!

Key here is inning is over and as long as the coach does not delay the start of the next inning, no trip is charged. Oh, F1 better be throwing his warm-ups while the conversation is taking place.

Far as I'm concerned, he can do whatever he wants...but I'm sure going to be saying "balls in" to the catcher after a minute.
