How about not allowing a relieving pitcher 10 warmup throws on the mound,he just threw 50 in the bullpen. Lots of little things could quicken the game but then what does that do to the game??

Obviously, the rules were made just for that reason. To speed up the game. Umpires need to "step up to the plate"!
A classic example during the LSU/Texas game Monday nite. Texas was "caught with their pants down" when the relief pitcher came in and could only throw balls. To give the pen some time, the pitcher had to make a "belt change"! GOOD GRIEF! After throwing even MORE balls (some of which the STUPID LSU batters SWANG AT) the Coach pulled him.
What can one do...
