Sounds like the infield fly rule would apply here. So the verbal obstruction overrules an infield fly rule? Wow, didn't know. Fed is a different animal then. I have done some Fed before and don't remember that ruling. But I am sure it is in there.
I just can't see it though. Let's say the kid at second truely does say he has it, drops the ball because of wind/sun/bad glove and then picks it up and doubles every one up. Who is going to judge that the kid didn't do it on purpose or he did? Tough call.
What happens if a pop-up happens and you have pitcher/short/Second all converging on it yelling they have it. Then at the last minute, they all let it drop (as we see so many times) thinking the other has it. But they pick it up quick enough to double up runners. You calling batter runner out and awarding bases because of this rule?
Good Luck. I will keep out of Fed for a while.
