between innings

[MikeStrybel]

It must have been a decade ago; I worked with a guy who would always stand a few feet back from the line on the team that was readying to bat. I saw him get hit by a guy who was loosening up with his back to the infield.

I always stand about twenty feet from home, down the line of the team that goes on defense. That partner does the same now.

Same here. There's less people and less aluminum.

I always go to the teams side that's batting next. Why? Because I probably just rang up someone in the other dugout. No need to stand on that side.

I thought that was common knowledge.

You may have also blown a call at the plate in the previous half-inning, which lead to another 5 runs scoring. I doubt you'd want to be on the batting team's side.

I agree with the "side that's not mad at you" crowd. However, when there isn't a side that matches, I go to the defensive side.

I generally try to stand on the side of the team going on defense, there tends to be less people around to bother me. I also can keep an eye on the on deck hitter and get their attention if they are slow in getting to the plate.

If lineup changes are being made, I will stand near the official score keeper so they can hear the changes at the same time I do.
