I had a HS VARSITY coach claim that the Infield Fly Rule protected the infielders, NOT the runners. And he coached his team to an LA City AAAA Championship.

The infielders are protected FROM HAVING TO CATCH THE DANG BALL

[Mountaineer]

I did have a catcher come up one night and say, "Where is your strike zone?" I said, "WHAT?" She said, "I was wondering where your strike zone is, do you call it by the book, or do you just make it up as you go?" I simply said, "I'll show you where it is in a minute."

Here;s one from last weekend.

Bases loaded, one out. Batter hits a one hopper to pitcher.Back to catcher for force, down to first for easy double play.

Except batter is way out of lane, both feet clearly on fair side of line. 1B can't catch the ball, of course, because it hits runner in helmet and bounces way over her head.

I kill it immediately, call BR out for interference.

"Blue, there's no way you can call that. There was no way first baseman coulda caught that after it bounced off her helmet."

I swear to God I did NOT laff in his face.

I would have right before I handed him his sign.
