Now a bunch of Chit is going to happen if the pitcher realizes he has a live ball and starts the front end of a triple play because none of the base runners advanced. |

Which is exactly why you need to call the IFF.

I don't make up rules, or interpretations. A fly ball that is blown around by the wind, such that ordinary effort is not possible is not interpreted to be an IFF situation. The fact that Chit might happen afterward has no bearing.

I would agree with this. I disagree with your judgment, though.

How do you agree with "this" and disagree with my judgement? What is "this" in your mind and what is judgement you disagree with?

I agree that we do not call IFF based solely on the consequences of the play--but read on. I feel in this case, a delayed IFF call is going to happen (after all, who's going to call it in the air on a foul pop behind the plate?) This is where the consequences come in--if there is a double or triple play, one is going to have to fix it. Absent those, there is no IFF fix necessary.

The rule is to protect the offense. Go ahead and protect them. |
