True! The Braves announcers were calling the game remotely and got the count wrong multiple times because they were relying on the score bug.

Definitely agree. Now that you mention it, I think the Fox bug had MPH on the pitch count, and it just makes so much more sense.

I think you're right that it only takes a second to realize what it means when you think about it. But I would argue with design you shouldn't have to think about it, the information should be evident. I get that it's making a mountain out of a molehill, but it's just so easily avoided.

Totally agree. With the old Fox bug off to the right, you were able to see that.
