I get that. And IFF was not called. Then chap said, "I did not say anything about when the IFR was called," - implying that it WAS called. Which, despite chap's insistence, CAN change the situation.

If the original scenario was presented on a test, but it said IFF was called... there would be nothing to discuss. The question would be easy. The DP would be obvious - and no coach with a quarter of a brain would complain.

IFF not called is the CRUX of this discussion. It brings into play the concern that the lack of call put someone at jeopardy - and if so, we must protect them. I do agree that if the runner is just wandering off base for no apparent reason (and not confused by the lack of IFF call, running, and then trying to return, or something like that), you probably still have a double play.

I wondered if anyone else was considering that.

I certainly hope that was not a test consideration.

I'm kind of bothered that it was a test question ... if it actually was.

Just

R1 on 2nd, R2 on first, 1 out, B4 hits a high pop fly that lands in foul territory between home and first base then kicks (untouched) into fair territory. F2 fields the ball and throws to F3 who tags R2 as they are standing off the base.
on it's own ... what's the question?

Well, the OP said "How would you rule. ", presumably what the test said.

I obviously don't know how the test question was presented, but I like the situation presented as part of a test and/or discussion question. It has a number of interesting aspects that could drive how a multiple choice question is completed or how a discussion could proceed.
