If you don't want to delete the command (or commands) and you don't
want to capture its output in the buffer, you can write the line(s)
to sh instead:
:'<,'>w !sh
And of course, you don't have to type the "'<,'>" part since that
appears automatically when you type : in visual mode.
I use this a lot when I'm developing scripts or just writing a
long, one-shot pipeline. Then I just write the whole buffer:
:w !sh
