I get what you're saying and I totally get optical illusions based on perspective, but I honestly think there's something wrong. The LF pole doesn't look nearly as bad, is that simply because its stands come in at the 3rd base line while the RF stands come in at an angle? Is it because the top of the RF wall is almost indistinguishable from the further back bullpen wall? I don't know, but I do know that it looks wrong every time a HR ball goes even just close to it.

It also doesn't help that the poles aren't just poles, they have a fence wing a foot or two wide that only go in which makes the actual pole look in fair territory. But I'm aware of all these things and those home runs still look foul.

You're right, different camera angles help, but I think they need to remodel it a bit, like the bullpen or the stands or somehow make the actual pole more noticeable while making its fence wing less noticeable.
