Actually, I almost did this two nights ago ... My pitcher was struggling and brought F6 in to pitch ... She threw her warm ups and as I reminded her of the situation ( bases loaded 1 out ), I notice she is tearing up ... I said "You OK? " She says " No, I'm sick, I've been feeling bad all day " ... I almost went to another pitcher but she said she could do a few batters ...
She didn't, I should have made the change.
Another possible reason could be the coach noticing during her warm ups that she didn't have her good stuff ... But just as likely it was a delaying tactic to break the other teams momentum.
