as part of the broadcast in the third and fourth time through the lineup, SNY shows each batter's box score in hand-scoring notation as part of their lower-third* when they come up to bat. I love it-- they obviously score a little differently than the Greenberg way, but it's charming none the less. maybe it will inspire more people to score games.
speaking of graphics, the head shots they were using on DiamondVision in Miami for the Mets had a background of Times Square-- with a very clear head and upper body of Borat in the right side of the image, about half the size of the player (who was displayed on the left side of the image). Keith and Gary were vocally annoyed by this, mentioning it as inappropriate a couple of times through the broadcast. tonight, Borat was gone from the display image. go, announcer power.
in the bottom of the 7th in tonight's game against the Marlins, El Duque threw a pitch that everyone except the umpire thought was a strike. though he came right back with a gorgeous called strike three, upon reviewing the video twice, Gary Cohen said, almost under his breath but in the most certain of tones, "that's a strike."
