You need to get out more often. The majority of baseball fields have the bullpens down the left and right field lines.

Maybe not where you live, but everywhere else.

You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a field with bullpens down the line. I just don't see what the big deal and drama is about that to start with. Anyone ever watched an MLB game? Chock full of bullpens down the foul lines. All over the country, too. Not a regional thing, dude.

Actually, I don't think either of use has toured the country enough to be able to reach a definitive conclusion.

Actually I've toured the country quite a bit. But I have also watched a whole bunch of big league games on TV and in person, and have seen bullpens down the lines - on the field - in a great many ballparks and stadiums from sea to shining sea, God Bless America

The use of "dude" is a regional thing, however.

Not knowing exactly where "here" is, I guess you're right. A great many professional baseball stadiums have bullpens on the field, and the vast majority of high school and college yards here in the baseball hotbed of the United States, the SoCal area, feature them as well.
