RE: [asa] Explanatory filter

Dick--

I regularly watch baseball. This is a very typical camera angle, and it would typically remain fixed there precisely to record interesting events at home plate from overhead. Also, the announcers did not react "too quickly"; the scene was clearly a replay from the previous batter. Your subsequent claim that the camera would follow the runner is also inaccurate; in fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen the overhead cam follow the runner, probably because it's fixed.

It might have been a "set up", or it might have been real, but your comments don't illuminate the situation at all, and I wonder if you've watched major league baseball anytime recently. If you had, you would find everything about the clip to be completely unremarkable. Other than the improbable (but not impossible) inertial configuration, of course.

Hi David:
 
Watch any televised ball game. That is not a normal camera angle.
Also, the announcers would have followed the play, not remained fixed on
the bat. They reacted too quickly to boot. All they had to do was to
tie a thread to the bat handle and suspend it overhead after the batter
threw the bat. The whole thing was a set up.
 
BTW, I was at a party Sunday night in Burke, Virginia and met a retired
Army Colonel. We were regurgitating our military experiences and I
mentioned that I was stationed at Nellis AFB going through F-111
training in the early 1970's. Coincidentally, he was there at the same
time undergoing a course conducted by the Industrial College of the
Armed Forces. While he was there they took him to a secret underground
hanger where he viewed the remains of the UFO crash that took place at
area 51 near Roswell in 1947.
 
Thought you guys would be interested.

There are about a dozen cameras covering a pro game; the camera behind
home plate might not be the one the follows the runner.

It's a fake. The camera operator is trained to follow the runner. He
wouldn't have left his camera focused on the bat while the runner took
off unless he knew the bat would stand on end.

How would we apply the explanatory filter to this video? Can we
determine by probabilities whether it was edited? Or designed?
