Rich,

Assuming good baserunning, F8 hurts his team by letting the ball drop. Yes, one runner is going to be "screwed" and out on a force (probably R1), but R3 scores and the B/R is on 1st since he ran out the fly ball.

F8 makes the catch - bases loaded, two out, no runs.
F8 lets it drop - R1, R3, two out, one in.

The only way you get a DP to end the inning is with horrible loafers on the bases.
