An F4 could try to deke a pop-up on a shot to the gap or some such -- trying to get the runners to stop or retreat.

If a runner doesn't see a shot to the gap he deserves whatever happens to him.

Other than that as a fielder you don't want the runners to retreat on a popup - it reduces the possibility of doubling them off.
