You cut me to the quick, sir! I would NEVER do that!

BTW, is it customary to inform the coaches when you think it's the probable last inning for a time limit?

I always do.

And then, do you look more closely for stalling by the leading team?

If the game is close, yes I look for it and try to keep things moving. Otherwise, however, it is better to have the coach do it than for me to suddenly become anal about a clean plate!
