A lot of pitchers have a routine...some like 2 pitches...some like 4, etc..... if they get out there they get to do their thing..... I will actually give a pitcher longer if she was the last hitter, was on base, etc. Not TOO much longer, but longer.

If they are hustling, they will be close to a minute....no problems...I would say if they arent..THEN put them on the clock a little....no need to be overly officious...

edited to ask "WTH does game face on the ground" mean? Am I missing something?
You are entitled to your opinion, and I am not put out by you referring to my post as crap.

The time it takes to put on this equipment is closer to the time it takes for 2 pitches.

I simply keep my games moving.

Been doing this for almost a full year now, and have not had a single complaint from a coach or a pitcher. Not sure why umpires would get so animated over it.
