How many warm up pitches?

[UmpireErnie]

Yes, 3 pitches in ASA slowpitch is correct... unless the Blue is busy with other duties (subs or whatever) in which case they can keep on tossing until ready.

Having said that I don't think I have ever made this call.. and no doubt there have been games where a fourth pitch has been thrown. If I was too busy with something to call for the batter then I was too busy to count warm up pitchs and I am not going to go looking for a call to make. But if I had specifically said "that's it" and "batter up" and they kept tossing anyway I would certinly ring up a ball.
