The right camera angle will show you everything in a baseball game  

Posted

I love how people claim that Jeter is a good defensive player even though it's impossible to watch defense with the current camera angles on TV. But, that's not the point of this entry. They had a pulled out angle just now to show Melky on third and Jeter on 1st (while Arod was up). A piece of wax paper was blowing around third base. The third baseman picked it up, and crumpled it. I was so curious to see what he would do with it. I was SHOCKED to see him stick it in melky's back pocket and then pat him on the butt. "is that the norm for garbage? is it assumed that the runners will just hold onto it?" Then melky took it out of his pocket and handed it Bowa (the third base coach). that made more sense, but why did the fielder not just give it to him directly? He seems like the most logical choice to hold garbage.

Also, apologies for not keeping my 30 in 30 promise.
