Detroit – What if the Detroit Tigers provide a bullpen cart to bring relief pitchers into the game and nobody uses it?
That appears to be the situation. The Tigers announced that beginning Friday, a bullpen cart will be available and they are waiting for paying sponsors to decorate it with their corporate logos or slogans.
“From our bullpen – nobody is going to use it,” said right-hander Warwick Saupold. “They asked us and everybody said no. Especially in this weather, that’s our warm-up, running in from the bullpen.”
The larger issue, at least to the Tigers relievers, is where the cart will be parked.
