Where in the calculus does "poorly named rule" come in? Tough to blame fans and announcers for thinking the rule is what the rules drafters named it. I guess "ordinary infielder effort" rule isn't so catchy.
Or maybe the name of the rule is a good indicator of what the drafters intended in which case this call is a tough one.
