I finally saw the actual play and I have no problem with the call. It fits all the rule requirements that I am aware of. I guess I could understanding not calling this too, but then I would see people suggesting that someone was thrown out at 3rd or second as being unfair too.

I think I'd have called it IFF, after watching F6. But I would not fault a no-call here either. |
The infield fly is possibly the most misunderstood (by fans and coaches)call (umpires typically make. And it comes from all sides.
Last year alone I had : 1)A defensive coach complain that I didn’t call it. (he wanted me to bail out his incompetent defense.) 2)An offensive coach complain that I did call it. 3) An offensive coach complain that I didn’t call it on a bunt attempt. 4 )A defensive coach complain that “Infield fly, batters out if fair!” confused his 3rd baseman causing him to let a popup fall foul. 5) Fans complain and murmur nearly everytime I call it. |

If you still think he was protecting the offense, both runners moved up very easily after the ball struck the ground. |
Good thread. I think it has run its course.
