I am glad we have the State Adoption that at any time if both coaches agree the game can be called by mercy rule. We only officially have the 10 after 5 rule set in stone with a number of runs by this inning format but the "both coaches agreement" rule comes in handy from time to time. With that said, I also dont think it is in the best interest of anyone for the umpire to initiate that conversation and I only bring it up if the team behind asks me if there are any options.
