Why is there a "bullpen" in baseball?

[t-wizzle]

Take a look through this thread and tell me again who the concerned one is.

[lakerboy]

Alright. Fair enough. Last post ever in your direction then -- take care.

Thanks. You take care as well.

Take a look through this thread and tell me again who the concerned one is.

You're the one who felt the need to clarify and correct me. Again. Like you always do.

Since I'm not posting in LB's direction anymore, I'm doing the same to you. This will be my last post ever at SBR directed toward you, t-wizz. I waste more time responding to you than anyone else now that dynamite is gone, and it isn't even worth it anymore. Best of luck. Go Greek.

It's too hard to tell who is being serious.

I dunno.

I mean no harm around here. Sometimes I call guys out but doesn't mean it should turn into anything.

Thanks Hawley. You see no coin's feeble attempt at humor claiming I was losing?

[NYSportsGuy210]

I've made dozens of threads on relievers.

I like to talk baseball. I know that goes beyond most of the monkeys on this forum who are only interested in the money they're making -- or more importantly, losing.

Next time I'll make sure to stay on topic and avoid any non-gambling discussion. Jeezus.

You lose more money than anybody. You still approach gambling like a noob.....four to five years later. That's why you are now just relegating to talking about sports instead of how to bet on them.

I would invite you to visit all of my threads from this past year in NFL, CFB, CBB, NBA and MLB. I'm up over 100 units combined. If you'd like a link to each, I'd be more than happy to oblige. Otherwise, shut your fvcking mouth.

If there was no bullpen in baseball the teams will not swing at many pitches and try to wear out the starter so they can pound him in late innings. So there is a reason bullpens exist.

The Oakland A's do a great job at getting a starters pitch count up. Its still a good strategy to get the starter out of there especially if its King Felix.

[Sawyer]

If you don't like bullpen, then just bet 5 Innings

I like bullpen feature. They can be useful to cash Over bets We got many gascan, sick relievers today..

[Cheme82]

All the reports they get on batters make it pointless to "watch the game". All they have to do is rread them to know the hot and cold zones, and the pitches they should throw to them if they ever face them.

[matthew919]

To get back to the original topic... bullpens are there for growing vegetables. Duh.

Yeah, god forbid they pay attention with their own two eyes to what's going on around them. That's why we have computers, pitching charts and everything on paper. Hell, they might as well just simulate it in a video game before they come in so that they know what to do, right?

Technology. Hmmm.

[t-wizzle]

Oh god not this thread again. Every field should have the bullpen situated in foul territory to satisfy no coin. That way bullpens would surely have an ERA under 1.00

[Big Bear]

This thread is full of fail.

Hey Kenneth Farried farted again , let make another thread.

[YouHave2outs]

Lol post two short paragraphs and nobody reads just decides to respond to the title...

perfect example of the current state of sbr

I think everyone read. Nocoin is just the biggest troll and random/idiot thread starter on sbr. I have only read posts up to yours at this point, and I would have responded the same as all of them. I read OP

[jamt31]

As a fan I would much rather see my teams bullpen out in the outfield than along the baselines. First, for player safety, I don't need anyone getting smoked by a foul ball, a fielder tripping over a bull pen mound and/or slipping on a bullpen plate and tearing an ACL or some other injury that can be prevented by putting the bullpen out in the outfield. Better to be safe than sorry, especially with the amount of money being invested into each player.

Another reason why I love the bullpen in the outfield is for when situations come up when a fair ball heads into the bullpen. When that occurs nothing good comes out of it. For instance, when Santiago Casilla fielded Eric Hinske shot down the line earlier in the season. Hinske had an easy double maybe even a triple depending on the left fielders position and kick off of the wall. I believe it's an umpires discretion to how many bags a player gets when the relief pitcher fields a fair ball while warming up in the pen. Then back to injury reasons, what if Casilla didn't see the "one hop" that was hit right at him? Hits his wrist and breaks a bone? Investment gone down the drain for something that could be prevented. There's really nothing good about having the pen on the field.

You also have to realize that every relief pitcher isn't available to pitch every game. There's always a couple guys who no matter what, won't pitch that day because they were over used in previous games. Those are mostly the guys you see not paying attention to what's going on during the game.

[jamt31]

Alright, good talk.

[ThingsFallApart]

I always think Nocoin can't top himself on stupid ****ing topics, then he does. During basketball season he'll lose a 1st quarter bet because of 2 three pointers in the last 10 seconds then start a topic like this about "the end of the quarter was very fishy" or "what are the chances professional nba players make two shots in a row" or some other stupid ****.

Coiner, no one cares if you make a thread in general. But you make these stupid ****ing threads that are off topic and generally dumb. I take it you're an older guy but youre bewilderment with general concepts of sports is infuriating. IT also seems you make these "deep off topic" threads right after some sort of bet settles. IF you're like 90% of people here you have some tracked plays but you play small things just for the action then get pissed off and try to avoid talking about the bet you made. The whole "check my tracked plays" means nothing because a lot of guys that use an online site can play a quarter or 1st inning or live play for $20 and don't post it.

I had to post that long paragraph because you defend your threads like this as if youre innocent and people are out after you. You post 30-40 times a day and half of it is drivel. People don't give you crap for the half that is somewhat relevant and/or semi-intelligent. Its this stupid **** that infuriates guys on the board to get tips and leans.

That's a lot of effort for someone who claims not to care.

Is someone holding a gun to your head and making you read? That sucks if so.

Yep. I'm all of those things. Good call. It's not like I track every play I make here at SBR in season-long threads or anything. Good point as usual, Ice.

Only at SBR. This place is a fvcking sewer, and you are the typical rat.

SBR seems to be more about everyone ripping on each other than having a simple discussion.

What does the placement of a bullpen have to do with capping? The placement of the bullpen is an extremely simple and obvious solution to what happens over the course of a baseball game. Anyone who has watched baseball and/or played it, and takes just 2 minutes to think about it would figure it out.

How does this thread add any value in the least bit to the board? This topic is so basic its honestly just clogging up the board. There is no discussion to have. If you want I can type out and explain it if you don't know much about baseball.

But this guy posts endless pointless threads. I see "tearing people down" on the same level as this guys 80 posts a day or whatever it is that are pointless. Like someone else said above, a lot of guys here are all for him and everyone else posting something relating to the game. Heck some guys even like the attentionwhore mushes so they can fade them when they drop their $60,000 bets, but otherwise this guy and threads like this clog up the board and get others to post junk and get away from the entire purpose of this board. Asking a stupid question don't make no money for anyone here!

LOL. Bandwith police. There are dozens of worthless threads created a day here. Do you spend this much time defending the board's integrity and honor with those?

SO maybe we should all just start posting porn and twitter-like messages anytime we get the urge to? No one here is saying they're the bandwidth police. They are just saying you post like a nitwit half the time. Stop it is a waste of space. I am done in this thread, you obviously don't get the point since you dont in the slightest understand why people get tired of you post (by my calculations 40 posts a day every day for 3.5 years). But then again you're a deadbeat who spends 14 hours on this board a day so really everyone else acknowledging your pathetic posts have already won.

Hope this answers your question NoCoin... Article from Wiki

In baseball, the bullpen (or simply the pen) is the area where relief pitchers warm-up before entering a game. Depending on the ballpark, it may be situated in foul territory along the baselines or just beyond the outfield fence. Also, a team's roster of relief pitchers is metonymically referred to as "the bullpen". These relievers usually wait in the bullpen when they have yet to play in a game, rather than in the dugout with the rest of the team. The starting pitcher also makes his final pregame warmups 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 warmup tosses.

Yet another person who has to exaggerate to make a point, which is a sure sign of a fail. Weak.

[Big Bear]

Coiner is hard guy to like bc he is such an arrogant asshole to everyone on here but calling him a dead beat is taking it too far/personal

he knows his stuff he just trys to hard to be contrarian.
