What Happened
The video shows various plays from the perspective of the bases during a Dodgers-Brewers NLCS series. It includes a pickoff play, a thrown ball rolling past the base, a play at first base, a close play at a base, a bunt play, a double play, and a stolen base, all observed from the base's viewpoint.
Why This Matters
Look, we've all wondered what it's actually like to be a base during a playoff sweep. Jomboy finally answered that question by strapping cameras to the dirt and giving us the most unhinged perspective on the Dodgers' domination of the Brewers. You get to see pickoffs, errant throws, close slides, and double plays from a POV that literally nobody asked for but everyone needs.
