This is what happens when you play games that shouldn't be played.

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

When they called the infield fly rule he was not camped. In fact he was still trying to locate the ball.

[Valid]

They made the call after he got out of the way.

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

If I were Fredi I wouldve been escorted off the field by security.

[Beef]

Also, don't think you need to be camped

[Mainge]

When they called the infield fly rule he was not camped. In fact he was still trying to locate the ball.

FWIW, he doesn't need to be camped.

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

They made the call after he got out of the way.

No.

[Valid]

They made the call, like, right before the ball hit the ground. He was not trying to locate it.

[Bobbob1313]

They made the call after he got out of the way.

I don't think this is accurate.

[Valid]

Well, that's what it looked like from the one replay I saw anyway. I didn't see it live.

[Beef]

"The umpire must rule also that a ball is an infield fly, even if handled by an outfielder, if, in the umpire’s judgment, the ball could have been as easily handled by an infielder."

That's in the comment to the rule

[Bobbob1313]

It looks like he called it right before he got out of the way.

Judgment calls are fun, though.

[Beef]

Just need to rule that could have been handled by an infielder with ordinary effort.

[Valid]

Yeah. So basically, the call was valid.

[Beef]

Is that Ron Darling saying it's not an easily catchable ball? If he doesn't run away, he catches it easily and it's considered a shitty popout.

SHANE ROBINSON!!!!
