The other reason is to keep the pitcher from holding up the game because there is a "preferred" ball. Too bad, so sad, ball rotation rule says she can only ask for the ball she wants before warming up at start of an inning. Any other time, she is to throw the ball that is in the game.
The partners that say she can throw whatever ball she wants are choosing to ignore a rule. Once you open up that can, it will bite you.
