Why Happened to the other Camera angles on the Davis almost HR?

[murph]

Just finished watching the game on DVR. Skipped through fairly quickly, but slowed down for the Davis monster foul ball in the 8th. I saw the challenge. But only one camera angle?

Was there any commentary on this? Seems to me that could have been a huge turning point. Momentum seemed lost after that.

MASN showed a couple different replays during the post game. Nothing 100% definitive but to my eyes that ball was fair. Also with replay now a part of the game, why can't each foul pole have a camera for this type of play.

Good point on the foul pole cameras.

The only replay I saw was of the original shot, which I agree was not definitive, but still looked more fair than foul.

It looked fair to be from the one camera angle that they kept repeating on the broadcast.

I was yelling at the TV today about this. I don't understand why they don't have a camera on the top of each pole pointing upwards with a wide angle and a visual line showing fair/foul.

As I see it. if the ball lands on Eutaw St, which it did, to the left of the Dempsey sign, it has to be fair. They need to paint a stripe on the warehouse in line with the foul pole.

I am pretty sure those camera angles only exist if the guys in the replay booth press the special button marked "RED SOX/YANKEES ONLY"

Buck said they found one later that showed it was fair.

Buck says a lot of things. Without technology on the foul pole you weren't going to be able to tell whether that was fair or foul.

I did, but I had to pull up a photo to double check it. A stripe up the Warehouse in line with the foul pole would do it. It's not a problem with LF because the ball will always land in the stands and that can be used for reference.
