Hey did we ever figure out what that was about when the one pitcher got to warm up twice? I was there in person and pretty confused.
The coach is not allowed to visit twice on the same batter. So the pitcher had to finish the batter before he can come out.
Oh, interesting! Thanks.

If the coach previously has used the allowed free trips and mistakenly is allowed to go to the mound for a conference, the pitcher shall be removed from the position after the batter completes the turn at bat. The pitcher may not reenter the game as a pitcher.
Never seen this come into play before. Always learning something new about this game.
I think the rule was made for that coach. He didn't have anyone warming so he ran out a catcher to bullpen, then visited the mound, then ran a few pitchers out there then visited mound again.
