As a regulation baseball game is 9 innings, the commercial breaks are pre-planned (unless you have a desire to see the pitchers and fielders do their throw the ball around warm ups).
The extra breaks are inserted when a team makes a pitching change. When a new pitcher is inserted, he has to walk in from the bullpen and is allowed 8 practice pitches to "warm up". Again, you are not really missing any action during this break.

He could warm up on the side couldn't he? But that would mean the ads would cut into play.

So he warms up on the pitch, so the ads can come on, and the average spectator can, waddle off to the fridge again for another cheese and peanut butter double decker and a water like beer.

The new pitcher has already warmed up in an area of the stadium known as the "bullpen" (the name goes back to the days when baseball was played on pasture land).

The rules allow the new pitcher 8 pitches from the actual playing field to complete his warm up.

As to your comments on American beer, I can only quote Monty Python
Q: Why is American beer like making love in a canoe?
A: Its f#$%ing close to water.
