1) What is your criteria on an infield bloop for deciding line drive or fly?

2) Has anyone considered that a maybe-line-drive, aka infield bloop, presents more need to protect the runners as they have less time to return?
For me these are HTBT plays. I need to see the play to be able to determine if it is a line drive, or a bloop, or a pop up. As with Teebob, if the defense has to start sprinting to make a catch, it isn't a IFF (in all likelihood), but if it is blooped to a defensive player, I am more likely to call it. Again, these are HTBT plays in my opinion.
