Context and the Dictionary CONTEXT DICTIONARY Bullpen- (noun) 1) A large cell where prisoners are held until brought into court. 2) A place on a baseball field where relief pitchers warm up. 3) The relief pitchers on a team. • “Baseball uniforms hide nothing, so the players are easy to recognize during the game, whether they are on the field, in the bullpen, or in the dugout.”
