Remy Questions How Close A Baserunner Was To Second Base. NESN Shows Two Replays From A Different Part Of The Field. Remy Gives Up.

In Saturday's game post, Steve asked me:

Did you see that awful zoomed replay of Mookie's infield hit in the 7th? Jerry was talking about how he was surprised the shortstop didn't go to second to get Vaz. They went to two different angles and, in both of them, you couldn't even see Vaz going into second because both cameramen zoomed so close on the fielder.

I had not seen the replays, so I went back and looked. ... It's laughable. It isn't really a case of super-zooming like NESN usually does, where you can count the stitches on the ball, but have absolutely no idea what the batter is doing as he swings the bat.
