Had a pitcher pour water on her shorts so she could wipe Her hand instead of licking. Final inning of a championship game. Ump told her to either change shorts or sit down. She wound up sitting down. #2 pitcher came in and got the save.

And that is absurd. Sounds like the umpire was worked into making a call. Would the umpire also tell a pitcher to stop sweating or sit down?
That rule is so stupid...
Foreign substance includes breath now?

Yes he was worked by the other coach. That exact example (of sweat) was mentioned to the ump by our coach, he was undeterred in his decision.
After the last out of the game the other coach was in a frenzy over what he thought was a D3K to end the game. He said the ball skipped before the catcher caught it. He was yelling at everyone over that, by the time he came unglued his batter had already entered the dugout and the umps were walking off the field. He didn't let his girls shake hands with ours.
