The part that stinks was guys coming in to face one batter. They get 6-8 (or whatever the set standard) more warmup pitches on the mound, face one guy and are pulled.
For a casual fan this sucks! You now have two commercial breaks during one of the most tense periods of gameplay of the entire night.
Said pitcher may then only throw potentially as few as a single pitch or two if contact is made.
It wouldn't be as awful if they said, "here's three warmup pitches to get you sighted in on new surroundings and play ball." because you should have been loose from being up and prepared from time in pen. However that's not entirely realistic.
