Blues are not without their own strategy to slow this down. Ex:

Know it all coach trailing by 2 runs with 5 minutes left on the clock jogs out to swap flex/dp. Talks fast, "I'm dropping down to 9."

A. Blue takes off mask.
B. Pulls rag from pocket, wipes off brow.
C. Whatya got Coach?
D. Coach repeats, talking even faster.
E. Slowly reach into back pocket and pull out the lineup gizmo holder.
F. Purposely pull wrong teams lineup sheet.
G. Study for a moment, then say you don't have players number blah blah.
H. Find correct lineup card, carefully record substitution.
I. Amble to score keeper, announce change. Linger there for a moment making sure she gets it right (nice legs)

When batter gets on, and coach runs and talks even faster to go back to 10, repeat starting at step A
