You're one out too many. It's to prevent a cheap double play. If it was to prevent a triple play, the IFF would only be in effect with no outs.

Re-phrased: The IFF also prevents a triple play. ;-)

To prevent means it could happen..IFF triple-play cannot happen...re-phrase again.

HUnnh? If there was no IFF rule, with no outs and 3 runners on, an infield fly not caught could easily become a triple play, since all base runners would stay at the previous base. Throw home, then third, then second; three force outs on runners who wouldn't run. The IFF also prevents that triple play, thus Tony's statement requires no rephrasing.
