That’s the M’s bullpen. See the one pitcher sitting apart from the other guys? That’s Hisashi Iwakuma. He got up a couple of times to toss a ball, but was never seriously warming up. He was talking with his translator and reading or taking notes some of the time, and kind of absently holding a baseball, passing it from hand to hand.
Next game, I will make a point of getting down there with a pen and yelling my lungs out until his translator pops his head around the corner of the shelter.
