Infield Fly Rule Question
Runners on first and second, less than two outs.
Batter hits a pop up about a third of the way up the first base line. Pitcher and first baseman do not move. The catcher comes out to try and make the play. Never really "settles" under the ball, and it falls in fair territory.
Umpire does not call IF, which I initially agreed with. My dad made the argument, however, that it was a routine pop up...that the pitcher or first baseman SHOULD have caught.
Thoughts?
