That's just it, there is no rule against it until 2023. OOTP not taking into account the time that is being used would be unrealistic.
Am I going to do it? For a RP that just got up and is cold, no. Not worth the effort or the chance of an error by repeatedly throwing over. If I had a guy that had been warming up for 2 or 3 batters and wasn't quite ready? Maybe I'd try one throw to see if it got him to warm. Nothing wrong with that strategy at all. The "you're cheating the AI argument because it doesn't understand the strategy or, can't do it too" kind of goes out the window when it's RP are always warm.
I'd add that if you've used warmups enough this situation will rarely come up. If it does you are in control and can simply not do it which, is the best course of action unless, as noted above, you're throwing one or two to get a guy to warm that is almost there. If you're doing it for a cold RP that just got up? All I can say it "have fun" it sounds like a great way to spend time
What we shouldn't be doing is asking the developers to fix something that isn't broke.
