Also, when she first comes out I remind her how many warmup pitches the pitcher has left and quietly tell her I have two rules: 1) I don't get hit and 2) what I call you agree with. If the pitcher asks about the pitch she will tell her get it up or move it over and if the coach asks I expect her to tell the coach that it missed the zone.
I have been doing this for at least 10 years in both baseball and softball and have never had a problem with it.

I could imagine doing this in a slow pitch game 
Little doubt that there would be some extremely short games due to lack of personnel.
