Infield Fly Fiasco

It is also absolutely a spot on answer.

We are protecting baserunners with the IFR. If there is any doubt on a ball, better to call it an IF than to watch an undeserved double- or triple-play unfold in front of you.

A popup over the infield grass in an IF situation is ALWAYS an infield fly. It may not say that specifically in the book, but in reality is the way it should be (is) called.

Rich: Not to pat you on the butt, but (pun intended) what is this "spot on" nonsense? Are you trying to sound like Warren?

Why not just say that Garth nailed the call?
Garth's hearth runneth over.
GB's idee was ros-ee.

To those of you who are claiming not to be in the friendly, inner circle. Allow me to give you a piece of advice.

In any game where the players date with nefarious intentions in mind:

Runners on first and second
Bases loaded
0 out
1 out

A batted ball reaching an appreciable height that will fall on the infield grass

IS AN INFIELD FLY!

Who disagrees?
