If the relief pitcher didn't get 8 pitches, there wouldn't be enough time
to:
1) Play "Hit The Road Jack"
2) The Iron City Relief Pitcher Commercial
3) The announcers to detail to us exactly what drove the
previous one from the game
4) A detailed biography, both personal and statistical, of the
new guy throwing his 8 pitches.
5) Get really cool super-slo-mo pictures for Diamond Vision to put up
by said pitchers name and stats!
