bullpen









































in baseball, the bullpen (or simply the pen) is the area where relief pitchers warm-up before entering a game. a team's roster of relief pitchers is also metonymically referred to as "the bullpen". these pitchers usually wait in the bullpen if they have not yet played in a game, rather than in the dugout with the rest of the team. the starting pitcher also makes his final pregame warm-up throws in the bullpen. managers can call coaches in the bullpen on an in-house telephone from the dugout to tell a certain pitcher to begin his warm-up tosses.
