Default Fox Playoffs, Poor Editing?

Okay I am happy to watch the Playoffs with the Fox crew, I like how Al Liter is sooooo pro pitcher he will call the other two guys out if they make a stupid statement (look for it tonight, its funny)*

But my problem lies in the Fox crew and what they do between the pitches, they show the crowd, but for tooo long. Seriously, on almost every pitch they go away from the pitcher and his setup, they may show the batter, some fans, maybe the first base coach scratching his balls, maybe an upclose view of the pitcher, but not the most important view, that of the upcoming pitch.

I would like to see the camera from behind the pitcher for a bit more before every pitch. And sometimes they cut to that view as the pitcher is releasing the ball, how are my eyes supposed to adjust quick enough to fully see whats going on.

I noticed this in the ALDS and figured it would go away, but it hasn't and maybe its because I am looking for it, but I swear it has gotten worse.

Seriously turn on the Yankees v Red Sox tonight and just watch the first inning, although it gets worse as the game goes on (they announcers run out of chit chat so they have to fill the screen with "eye candy").

I guarantee you will see what I am talking about, they cut to the behind the pitcher only a few milliseconds before the pitch is throw, sometimes halfway through the winde-up and too often as he is releasing the ball.

Fox please show the game as you have all year, and not everything but the game, thanks.

*In game one of Yanks v Sox one of the cammentators said "Mussenas pitch was just too inside" then they showed the replay and it showed that the pitch was dead center but low. Al Liter siad "Actually Mussena missed low." Just like that, it was hillarious, totally called him out.
