Actually... In almost all cases involving people who read this board and play in timed games the managers job should be to teach the game, stalling and doing bull crap things like changing the catcher is not part of that.

Yes I agree that having the catcher change equipment or changing the pitcher for no reason other than to stall time is crap. Where is the line though? We were recently just a couple runs up on a good team and had we gone another inning I wasn't feeling real confident. We had about 3 minutes until time was called. I didn't tell my players to stall. I would never tell the girls I was trying to stall a little. However I did have some girls take some pitches that I would not have had them take if I wasn't trying to kill those 3 minutes. Good time management or chicken shirt?
Then why not make the game 1:09 instead of 1:10?
I assume this rule exists to help people who might think, 'Oh, crap, do we really need to do a whole 'nother inning when it's so close? Can't we just call it?'
But it's an illusion. No matter how you slice it, there is no escaping the fact that there is an exact moment at which time runs out. Why play games with it? Just set a time and stick with it.
My question is if you do disagree with time left (umpire calls the game) can you protest? I am not talking about a few minutes either way I am talking about 10 minutes.
This happened to us. Umpire said the timer was set and that was that. Thee math didn't add up no matter how you sliced it.
Can you protest the umpires ability to tell time?

Yes - you are correct not sure why I used manager thereNow you're confusing coaching with managing.
