Talking

Had a play last night that reminded me of a recent thread.

Runner on 1B, no outs.

B3 hits a pop-up in the infield and sulkingly walks toward the dugout with the bat pressed to the back of his neck.

F1 notices him not running and lets the ball drop near the pitcher's plate. R1 is frozen on 1B as the pitcher gains control of the ball after a wierd bounce. BR still not running. Defense has an easy twin killing.

Them: You've gotta call in infield fly.
Me: Nope, there's no runner on 2B.
Them: He did that intentionally.
Me: Sure did!
Them: You've gotta call something.
Me: I called exactly what I'm supposed to call.
Them: No you didn't, you called them out.
Me: Like I said . . . .

I think they're still confused.
