jicecone,
I am understanding you correctly? Are saying that anytime there is a ball hit over the second baseman's head that looks like the ball will NOT be caught, that "infield fly" should just be assumed? Maybe if you are conservative. If I see a player will have to try to make an unbelievable play on the ball, the only thing I am assuming is that he won't make it. Since the ball was dropped, and both of the runners, were standing on 1st and 3rd at the end of the play, the only one that should be out is the batter. Again the 3rd out was called from the fielding team stepping on the 2nd base bag.
From what I am understanding from all the responses (as confusing as this story, and play was)ithink I have a legitimate beef.
