marlinfan Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Three things:1) I see they dumped the scoreboard they've been using for a year now. The new one is silver, team names are no longer displayed with the scoreboard look. There is also less beeping and booping (it isn't noticeable ).2) They have a new toy that tracks pitches.It does a few things:The pitch is traced from the mound to the plate.Pitch speedPitch typeHow much the pitch moved (Ex: 6").3) 2 1/3 innings into the game and no Diamond Cam......yet. Could they have finally seen it's uselessness? 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPBlueHen Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I think the new scoreboard FOX is using is very similar to the one they use on Fox Sports Net. I think it's much better and easier to read than the one they used previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 i also noticed for Uribe's AB in the 2nd, it had the new graphics with his stats, and then for Rowand's AB in the 3rd it had the old ones, has FOX been doing that the whole night? because i've only seen parts of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 3) 2 1/3 innings into the game and no Diamond Cam......yet. Could they have finally seen it's uselessness? Oh, there's been Diamond Cam. And it still sucks.The cutting down on cheezy sound effects is nice, but until they're gone totally, it's still cheesy. The whoosh noise on all pitches over 95 mph and the racing engine noises when the graphic bar containing the player's stats turns over (and WTF is that about?) are the two biggest offenders.Fox does more harm than good in their broadcasts of sports. Their studio shows have gotten progressively worse over time, their gimmicks wear out quickly, the innovations don't make for a better viewing experience, and their overpromotion of their lineup borders on criminal. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirearmofMutiny Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 As long as they dumped Scooter. (But I doubt they did--I haven't been watching, I've been watching both college and NHL hockey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the whooshing player stat bar was only for the ASG. Jennie Zelasko is crap. She loses her rhythm most of the time and talks like a retard.Also they mentioned last telecast Scooter was signed to a lifetime contract. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 You forgot to include the shots of players in the dugout and fans in the stands in between almost every pitch. In the States, we prefer to call that (overused) shot the "Joe Torre Memorial Nosepickin' Cam".This, coupled with the modest and inoffensive scoredboard graphic, means... chalk up another one for Canada.

mjrbaseball Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 And of course there were the obligatory shots of actors from every Fox show currently on the air, most of which I never heard of.Joe Buck mispronounced Dan Castallaneta's name, and he said something like, the voice of Homer Simpson is here, but Homer isn't. To which Tim McCarver replied, "You know, Joe, we've had three homers tonight."I wish there wasn't so much static on the radio so I could listen to Jon Miller!

slapshot Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I just want to thank Fox for showing replays of every strike. Even the fouls. Because I have a short memory and I just want to thank Fox for showing replays of every strike.
