> The Giants’ TV crew was offered access to the “ump cam” — basically how an at-bat looks from behind home plate — for a few recent games, but it was a disaster, confusing the viewers’ context and jostling the image every time the ump made a move. Jeff Kuiper, the Giants’ ace producer in the booth, said the broadcasters were “not really into it, and social media was mostly negative. I was happy to try it, but I don’t see us using it in the future.”
It was an interesting perspective but the novelty wore off after the first pitch.
Hated that view. Good riddance.
What we really need is the Ump-plant chip. The umpire brain chip that allows us to hear their thoughts as they make horrible ball/strike calls. *I just need this game to be over because the Bachelorette finale is on and I think my dvr is full…STEEERIKE 3!!*
Just use it for replays. Not live.
Jeff: Now turn down the mics behind home plate so we don’t hear the idiots who sit there. Thanks 👍
It was the WORST
Only interesting as a replay to watch a homerun or a nasty strikeout.
