Bullpen Pitcher Fields Ball

Wouldn't we first be concerned if the bull pen is in play or out of play? Some fields have ground rules that put the on-field bull pen out of bounds or did we forget that little item (ground rules).

I think the discussion presumes the bull pen is in live ball territory. Otherwise, it would be a very short discussion.

You're right. Why on earth would you have interference if the ball is already dead?

The OP specifically says "on the field of play" (and, that might be my typo -- the RefMag play *might* have been "in the field of play").

in any event, if it was "oob" it wouldn't be "on / in the field of play."
