Just playing Devil's Advocate here.

You Little Dickens, you!

Actually, I meant to say "the level of baseball" more than the individual fielders. If you are working Mustang League, you may not be so quick to believe that the fielder has an ordinary play, whereas if it were a Varsity player, you may feel that ordinary effort is all that is necessary. I've seen some pretty routine pop-ups where I could tell that the fielder didn't have a prayer of catching the ball, in a league where the kids couldn't catch a cold.
