challenging call

TxUmp poses a challenging call. I assume this ball hit foul and rolled ten feet or so, into fair territory. "Infield Fly, batter is out, if fair," would be the correct call for something that near the line. But if the fly were 30-40 feet away from the line, I would myself be thinking catch the ball not infield fly...

I would likely be collecting my wits and enforcing the infield fly rule (batter is out) after all action had stopped.
