This bonus footage from the National League Championship Series gave a full behind-the-scenes look at the emotions, details, and camera work the standard broadcast missed. Brewers fans started hopeful but quickly spiraled into despair after momentum shifted to the Dodgers. The video leaned into tight crowd shots showing the emotional ride: beard scratches, blank stares, hands on heads, people just stunned as it unraveled. Dodgers fans, meanwhile, enjoyed a stress-free series, even caught snoozing in the stands during easy wins.
The camerawork stood out throughout, especially on close calls and pitch framing. One highlight was a disputed strike call where ump cam gave a rare look from the official’s perspective. The framing debate showed how tough it is to call borderline pitches in real time. Behind-the-scenes gems included dugout interactions like Blake Snell and Yamamoto exchanging bows and handshakes and a ball boy getting briefly distracted by an ear tickle. Reactions to a Freddy Freeman home run were carefully tracked, showing Mookie Betts following the ball through a maze of legs and celebrating only once he had a clear view.
Pitch grip overlays were another strong part of the edit. Slow-motion footage showed Blake Snell’s four-seam fastball, changeup, and curveball, breaking down the finger positioning and spin off each pitch. Yamamoto’s four-seamer and splitter were also compared, along with Roki’s forkball-style splitter, which spun almost like a knuckleball. A running point was how modern stats group all split-finger pitches together even though grips and spin profiles vary a lot. The video closed with fun crowd moments, a solid Mookie Betts catch, and a camera that nailed every angle.
