Interesting to note that the rule states "...with fewer than two outs."

So obviously the rule was written in conjunction with the IFF - to prevent a "cheap" out.

Also interesting that the IFF is a LIVE ball, while the intentionally dropped ball (IDB?) call is a DEAD ball call. Probably because you have to place runners on the IDB, but not on IFF.

Question: Say you have 2 outs, and a runner on 1B, and you judge an IDB by F4. No call? Dead Ball? Whatcha think?
