That last pitch on 3-2 to Ethier was a strike. Umpire blew the call, Romo's peeved, lost concentration, and left a slider that was supposed to be low and away to middle and in.

No that 3-2 was definitely inside and the right call.

The camera's angled from the right side, which makes it look like it was more inside than it was. It also makes pitches to the right look like it's right down the middle. Regardless, Romo's fastball usually tails back to the right. Kinda like a cutter to the opposite side.

I actually like that view. It shows how the ball moves, cuts, curves, or breaks more than the right side view. Also, pitches that are 1 foot out of the plate are called strikes lol


The only thing that sucks about the center view is that sometimes the pitcher's head is blocking the view of the catcher throwing down signs. But other than that, once the pitcher winds up and throws, they're out of the way and it's a pretty good view of the zone.

so the umpire didnt pitch? I am confused, how is it the umpires fault?

We will play again in two and a half hours, so you can let this one go. Hopefully the Giants dwell on last night like this But I know they are over it, they are pros and this is just one game.




GO DODGERS!!!!

I cant tell high or low but I probably could get use to it. I like the view for inside outside call.

I would think more stadiums would go to it, only the need for one camera.
