Because I am sure in game is likely "scaled". If you notice the clock in the upper right hand corner, a minute of game time does not necessarily equal an actual minute. So I am sure there is a certain " in game time" amount that is considered sufficient for RP to warm up. So what I am saying is that each in game "play" is likely a certain amount of play. What I am trying to tell you is that a pitch and a throw over (or any other type of play for that matter) are likely the same amount of time. Perhaps a throw over should not be worth the same amount of in game time as a pitch, or a fouled off ball, or a ball in play etc. This way, you would not just be able to have your pitcher endlessly throw over to first until your bullpen is warm...Or at least it would take much longer.
