I'll concede that. I can also envision the D f'ing up the DP and winding up with R2, R3, still only one out, and two in.

BTW - what is the point of this discussion? No one is saying an infield fly should have been called in the OP.

Agreed, and I can envision one being a tag play and the PU better be ready to score the run or wipe it off due to the time play. Then we might have to change the discussion from horse$hit baserunning to horse$hit umpiring. Wow, a no-brainer turns into a brainer.

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

That would be a judgement call on ordinary effort. Sounds like you got it right!
