Broadcast Camera location

[Cataschism]

On Sportcenter, I saw that the Twins broadcast had a camera that was lined up with home plate and the pitcher. I prefer watching games with this camera setup over the camera being offset to the right mainly because it makes it a lot easier to see pitch location. What do you guys think?

I prefer offset, but I like straight on when they offer it.

I like either one, but I prefer straight on between the two. It gives a better view I think.

I think I like the straight on view slightly more as you get a better perspective of the strike zone. Sportsnet tried that perspective for a while last season but they've apparently gone back to the traditional offset camera.

Offset is my favorite because I feel I can see the swing better.

The Rangers tried the behind the pitcher view one time and it was God-awful. The field of play was too far away, and it didn't do any better than the offset angle. I feel closer to the game when the camera is offset.

I like it better offset but sometimes I like to watch games straight on every once in a while.

I prefer straight on because that is what is used most at Busch Stadium.

I cannot stand it when ESPN comes into town and uses the offset camera.

Straight-on all the way. I love the one the Marlins use.
