Let's change the play...
No IFF rule is called
and no one is able to make the play but the defense recovers and is able to get a force at 3b and 2b.
Now you have a sh#tstorm.
IIRC, if uncaught, the ball would have landed in the infield dirt. Call the IFF rule and reference the "preventive umpiring" section of the rule book.
I'm just offering what I would have done.
It was just surprising to see a pop-up come down in this area of the infield and not see anyone call the IFF rule.
And you know it was unusual if the announcers picked up on it.
