Think about it. Is a manager going to walk on the field, wave "hi" to his bullpen coach, and then turn around and grab a cold pitcher out of the dugout?

No he wouldn't. But there's nothing I'm aware of in the rules that says he can't decide to pick a pitcher from the dugout if he so desires. What from strictly a rules standpoint commits him to only the pitcher warming up?
