Reviewing afterwards, there could have easily been a collision with the runner on 2B, causing a dropped ball. Then chaos would've ensued.

Seems like a perfect situation in which IF could be called after the fact...
"drifts casually to be there just as it comes down" looks like ordinary effort

Why are a possible collision or chaos or "after the fact" factors in the call?
