Coliseum Game

I'm watching the Red Sox/Dodgers game from the Los Angeles Coliseum. The camera angles are lousy. The centerfield camera appears to be in right-center, giving a very different view of the pitcher/batter matchup, and making it difficult to tell balls and strikes. The Dodgers are playing the leftfielder in deep center, and the centerfielder behind second base. They figure if a ball goes over the shortstop's head it will hit the 60 foot screen.

There's no foul territory, including behind the plate. I don't think anyone will be able to advance on a wild pitch that goes straight back.

Update: Lowell actually pops out in foul territory!

I'm just glad it's on now...had issues with mlb.tv getting that game until very recently. Yeah...gotta love the right center field camera..but I think the whole thing is very cool...it's like playing arena baseball.

I had issues, too. Still can't get the highest quality stream from the angels game.

This LA game is quite bizarre, line drive to left field gets plucked off the wall/net by the shortstop.

I have the MLB 1959 World Series video... check that sometime to see what it was like from 1958-1961.
