And, for what it's worth (probably nothing), I prefer the coach give me all the changes at once. If the intended changes are situational, then of course the coach should wait. But if the coach's intentions are to enter three subs this inning, no matter what happens, then I prefer the one stoppage to 1) verify and repeat what I have been told, 2) enter it on my lineup card, 3) report the subs to the opposing team, 4) report to the official scorer when there is one, 5) mark on my lineup card that I have reported the changes, and 6) restart the game.

If this can be done once, why do it three times??
