Are you serious? Would you really let this happen if this wasn't in the case book? Of course not. If you felt they were doing it on purpose, you would call a T every time they tried to do it before they got anywhere near scoring.

And again, what's wrong with the infield fly rule?

Nothing that I know. In fact, in my family, it is a tradition to recite the rule to all newborn babies (this is true). We are a baseball lovin' tribe.
