I have always wondered about the mound visit myself. I use the bullpen warmup rule and I am pretty sure that a mound visit will buy time for the bullpen. At least, when I visit the mound with a pitcher warming up, it sure seems like they become ready faster. I have always wondered if the visit the mound option could ever help the current pitcher at all, or if it only helps him by getting the bullpen pitcher ready faster, so you can get him out of the game as quick as possible.
