Don't forget 12 seconds between pitches (no runners).

I wish.

So just one member of the crew has the watch and is responsible for the time between innings?

Yes, only 1 umprie is needed to do this. It's a simple task that does not require a "board meeting" or "consultation". Although, I'm sure that down the road, the crews will be meeting to agree on exactly when the clock should be started and stopped. This along with every other ridiculous "board meeting" needed to get a MLB game done.

A stopwatch is used so that the game starts at the proper time (TV/radio commercials).

At other levels (NCAA for one), a stopwatch is used for enforcement of pace of play rules.

Or they can go to system that college football uses where a side judge wears a large red glove that comes up to his elbow. Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

That's not the Side Judge.

I attend at least one Youngstown State Univ. football game a year and my wife and I have season tickets to The Univ. of Toledo football games and all of those games are on the radio and most of them are televised too and I have never (with apologies to the late J. Dallas Shirley; check with the guys on the Basketball Forum) seen a game official wearing such a glove. What I have seen is a person on the Press Box side of the field on the sideline with a headset on that gives the go ahead to the R as to when the game can be restarted.
