IF Situation
This weekend I had a situation where the IF was in effect and when it got to it's apex it appeared to me in my position as PU that the 2B was under it even though she was "In the Grass" but after it fell it did end up falling about 10 feet behind her and somewhat deeper than I would have liked for an IF call. At that point I had already called it and after the non-catch both runners on base advanced and I had runners on all three bases.
In this case, would you stick to your call of IF and send the BR to the dugout on the out (Which I did) or would you consider waving it off or even asking your partner? My thinking is since I made the call and everyone heard me make it then it is like calling a foul ball which can't be taken back once declared.
