I fully agree, things were not handled correctly and you do have a beef.

I was pointing something out that was not previously mentioned because, there are some people that feel that if the umpire does not declare an infield fly, then it does'nt happen. Which is contrary to the rules and interpretation of baseball.

As far as an officials abilty to discern when to declare or not to declare an infield fly, well I have disagreements with fellow officials on that also. Thats were judgement comes in. This judgement gets better as the official becomes more experienced. And after almost 20 years I can personnaly tell you that I am still working on refining my judgement to make better decisions on the field.
