Mets bullpen getting an overhaul (and I’m not talking about players)

The Mets are in the process of renovating the bullpen at Citi Field, according to Brian Costa of NJ.com.

Costa writes that the San Diego Padres complained about how the bullpen was set up.  And if you watched any games this season, you know how tough it was for the broadcasting crew to figure out who was throwing in the pen.

The bullpens will be set up so that the pitchers will throw toward the field, instead of side to side like last season.  The pitchers will be throwing from under the bridge out toward the outfield.
