Too many pitches

[PtotheB]

I give the pitchers five pitches in the first inning after that it's three at the most unless I have a sub or something. They have one minute from the time of the last out to when I should be able to point the ball in play. If they're draggin' butt getting out there or the pitcher wants to play "Farmville" grooming the circle they might not get any pitches at all. Do it once and they'll get the idea.
As far as a partner who lets things drag we would have to have a talk. I will call balls in if I know he or she is working a sub and is just about done. That way they can walk up to the plate and we're ready.
