I totally disagree with the idea of killing the play because the infielder is not paying attention. That is clearly not our job. What about slow players, or players playing a position for which they do not have the required skills? Are we next going to evaluate players for a minimum performance standard for positions? How many times has an umpire been chastised on this forum for making up a rule? This is one of those times, there is nothing in any of the rules I have read in any sport that grants or requires the official to kill live play because of inattention of one of the players.
The poll should have had one more choice – Game on.
