It's very cool for highlights but is hard to follow when its live.

Here's another one of a K.

I think it's cool and don't mind it, but that may just be the novelty of it. I wouldn't be opposed to using more traditional camera angles during the live play and then sometimes showing this angle as an immediate replay afterwards.

I think that showing it after as replay is def the way to go. It's kinda shaky for a primary source of the video feed.

But seeing as this is a new thing they're doing I'm not surprised someone decided to overuse it in an attempt to show it off.

Yeah this what I would prefer. When I was watching this live I didn't even see the 2B when the ball was hit and then suddenly they cut to him botching the ball.
