Dead Center View

I was just curious what everyone thought of the view over the pitcher's head that FSN has used the last couple of games. I remember ESPN used this a few years back and advertised their "Dead Center View" but it didn't go over very well. This angle seems to be a little better, and I think I personally like it. You really can see how pitches move laterally from this angle. If they keep it this way, I'll be really excited to see Pat Neshek's slider from this angle!

Am I supposed to vote on my own poll, or is that a conflict of interest?

Go for it.
Just because you post it doesn’t mean you don’t have an opinion.

My vote would go to “it’s really weird to watch right now, but I think I could get used to it.” which doesn’t exactly fit into any of the options on your poll.
But they definitely shouldn’t go back and forth, that would be annoying.

I dont
I dont really like it for ‘live’ action, but it would be pretty sweet if they used that view for replays

I don't like it
Part of it is what I’m used to. Dick-N-Bert like it because it frames the plate better. But it also makes it tough to see whether the ball is high or low. So I favor using it once in a while when tying to see if a close pitch was a strike. For that matter, you could have replays from the side to see the Y axis and replays from the ceiling to see the X axis.

I like it
You need to adjust your mental strike to thigh to top of the letters, but because it’s more upward you and it’s much easier to see what pitch is thrown without the help of the replay or the pitch speed.
Why does FOX sports in Fenway Park zoom so close on the pitcher? It’s makes it really difficult to see what the pitch was.
