I can't pretend to know those answers other than just assuming PM and Dunn had an idea of the order they were going to throw them and stuck with it. As a counter point, Strall had Reynolds to back him up and maybe that was done on purpose due to his past. Hanagriff tried to make it sound like we knew almost nothing about Strall while talking about this during lunch. And he eventually conceded that PM just doesn't like getting guys warm unless he absolutely knows he's going to use him. Which, I think, is everyone's big concern because that approach is risky.
But I agree with your points.

That's got to be the explanation, and that is fine, other than the fact that that particular plan exposed your newcomer in his first appearance and exposed your team to a chance of loss. I'm not saying Reynolds locks the inning down after Kiel, but I think we would all be more comfortable if Reynolds got whipped, rather than Strall.

This is a recent evolution of Mainieri, and not one I'm going to gripe about.
We've had relievers in the past that would get up twice to warm up on Friday, once or twice on Saturday, and finally actually get in the game on Sunday and throw like shite.
It's also an effort to keep arms healthy. Warming them up on multiple consecutive days isn't quite as bad as actually putting them in on multiple consecutive days, but it isn't good either.
