Especially on the really high ones...sometimes they look like an IF right off the bat, but sometimes they're just that "trouble" drop behind the infield and before the outfield that has everyone scrambling to the ball.

Not to sidetrack this discussion, but do you all take into consideration the skill level of the players also before taking into consideration whether a pop-up is an IF or not? That's one thing I've had some of my partners make a comment to me about on some of my IF's. Thanks for your responses.
