Um, how? The rule is completely separate from IFF. For IFF, you must have runners on at least 1st and 2nd. For IDB, you only need at least a runner on 1B. Also, the IFF rule takes precedence over IDB.

So how is it "tantamount" to requiring a catch for IFF?

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
