It's a fantastic term. Rub up on some gal till you pop off (with her consent, natch). I was raised on this kind of activity.

I'm OK with being willing to get pitchers loose that, in the end, you might not need. I get that pitchers may get grumpy about that and you want to stay within reason and avoid that where you can. But if the alternative is (1) to bring a guy you don't need (or even perhaps want) into the game because you warmed him up, or (2) to not warm a guy up unless you absolutely need him, by which time it may be too late, where's the greater logic in either of those two choices?

I assume it means that he won't be cavalier about having guys start to throw. I'm sure that not everyone who warms up will get into a game every time.

I remember Whitey Herzog writing in his book about warming up pitchers and how he took in consideration the time spent in the pen into the total activity of a pitcher even if they didn't pitch in a game, something he believed other managers overlooked.
