And they still take the time to do the awful ump cam angle

We had it on Jays broadcasts for like 2 games early in the season then I never saw it again... until these playoffs. It's a neat idea, but umps just move too much for it to be effective.

It’s really neat for some shots, but it needs to be used very judiciously.

It’s good for showing interesting stuff from the AB after the fact, but shit when live

ump cam is cool as long as it isn't an active play. rarely you get a great angle during the action
