I disagree. How many chances should the defense be given to make a play?

I say ONE.

In this case BR is out on the IFF call. F6 had ample opportunity and missed the catch. Ball bounces into runner. I say play on. I can't possibly reward the defense for missing the pop fly and send the game into extra innings.
