For sure, F2 didn't hear anything and made the play as he should have. If PU had called foul, time, or dead ball, F2 would have heard it for sure.

You freeze on a line drive until it clears the infielders - you don't always run.

F2 had his back to the umpire - no way he could see a signal. Trouble is, the others could.

This ain't legion with 27 folks scattered about the park. In a MLB stadium full of noisy fans. You have to depend on seeing signals - because you can't always hear them.
