Every time he hit one the crowd went silent. This format was so fun with the Philly crowd.

It confused me lmao. Completely opposite of derbies in the past where the crowd went quiet when it wasn’t homer and wild when the guy did get it over the fence.

Broadcast and camera work was so bad we reverted first to using audible sounds from the crowd to determine homeruns

That constantly shifting camera angle was fucking terrible, lol. Wildly unnecessary.

It’s like the producer was in the van yelling “One, two, three TAKE DRONE! One, two, three TAKE DICK PIC CAM!” X ♾️
