The fielder did not intentionally let the ball drop untouched. What I am reffering to is the fact that an infield fly rule is a judgement call based on how the fielder made an attempted catch. Was he in a reasonable position or was it a great play. This is in the judgement of the people involved. If we get it wrong as players and see it as a hard to field ball then we must run when we see the ball drop and not knowing that the infield fly rule is in effect. We as players and coaches should not have to make this decision as to wether the infield fly rule is in effect. The UMPS should. Thaks all for help
