We have a great thread about pitchers needing to be told in advance when they are going to pitch. Of course, there is the old Yiddish softball saying, "Coaches plan and God laughs."
When this happens, there no time for whining and complaining. It is time for the pitcher to bust her rear end and get ready.
My DD would work very quickly getting her arm loose and then she would start increasing her effort to get her pitches to game speed. She would do reps as quickly as she possible could. She would catch the ball and then go immediately into a windup for the pitch.
In the usual FUBAR situation, she would not have time to work on her breaking pitches. So, she would pitch on the edge of the strike zone for the first inning. She would never attempt a breaking pitch over the plate. After the first inning, she would run down to the bullpen and get her breaking pitches going.
With fastballs and good control, she could get through a couple of innings. She would never make it a second time through the order without her drop.
