Saw this recently:

If you play 7 full innings, that's 14 half innings and 13 changes in a game. If you're allowing 1 minute for warmups, that's 13 minutes.

If you allow 4 minutes instead — just 3 more minutes per change — you're adding 40 minutes to the length of the game!

If you allow 2 minutes, you're still adding nearly a quarter of an hour. Your 2 hour game should take just 1:47 to play.

Enforcing this rule (and it IS a rule, at every level, 60 or 90 seconds) will make your game much faster without seeming to rush it.
