I thought that the wired for sound was too invasive. They listened in on some umpire to umpire conversations that the umpires probably wish they wouldn't have. The plate umpire went and asked the third base umpire about how ISF dealt with an intentional walk. Then later in the game the plate umpire went and asked the first base umpire if she had signaled on a ground ball that went over the base. The first base umpire said no that is your call. I'm still wondering what all four umpires got together for after the first home run. Also in ISF the pause is 2 to 5 seconds. It used to be 1 to 10 like ASA, but they thought the 1 second was too quick and being taken advantage of. Also the talking heads were up to their normal ignorance of the game. After a steal of second base with a check swing by the batter the Plate umpire went to her partner on a check swing and the announcer said they were checking to see if the runner left first early.
