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!

Poll
So what do you think?
  • Like it, it should stay
  • Hate it, switch it back
  • Think it was cool to see, but like the other view better
  • Should use both, I'd like to see them switch back and forth to get different angles during the same game.
  • What the heck are you talking about?

Some quotes from the experts on Delmon

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/wires/05/01/2010.ap.bba.twins.young.s.start.0747/

I just noticed a couple of  quotes on Delmon Young.  One was by Cuddy, and the other by Gardy.  You decide which is funnier.

"He's getting on base. He's doing what we need him to do" - Cuddy

Well he has gotten on base a few times this year, but I don't really think he's "doing what we need him to do" with a .613 OPS.

"He doesn't throw stuff" - Gardy

hmmm...   http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2423307
