Because there are only four possible situations with runners that can create an IFF situation (runners on 1B & 2B, or bases loaded, plus either no outs or one out). The possible outcome is the same: IFF, batter out. That one is simple.
With this "potential timing play" signal, let me ask you... What, if anything, would the plate umpire do differently?
