Sorry, but that doesn't happen. Relievers aren't allowed to remain throwing in the bullpen until the commercial ends, then take the field and throw seven more pitches when a mid-inning change is made. You might catch them throwing one more in the pen before the commercial break starts, but then they are required to enter the game and throw their seven pitches during the inning break. So by your example, they are throwing eight warmup pitches after having been completely cold. That's simply not how real life works.

My suggestion is inning end press enter go to substitution screen, do what you want. Then return to game. In real life there is about 5 minutes between innings that are skipped over in OOTP.

Regular season commercial breaks are two minutes. In the postseason, they are 2 1/2 to maybe 3 at most.
EDIT: To add more explanation.
