and, "pitcher" must be redundant since he already meets the definition of "infielder"
and, F3 - F6 do not normally "occupy a position in the infield," so most infield flies aren't
I concede that the ruling in the BRD is correct under a literal reading of the rules. If I saw an umpire call it that way, however, I'd think he committed several of Carl's 51 Ways to Ruin a Game.
Bob perhaps that's a thread altogether - Rule vs. enforcement. Let's forget about the wording for a minute, I believe most of us would have a no call on this play. Hey the defense had ample time to field the ball.
Rule vs. Enforcement is always good for discussion
