Reply to "Infield Fly NOT CALLED- Correctable Error?"

We're in YHTBT territory, but I'm not persuaded this was an infield fly situation:

--Nobody got to the ball, which is plausibly not an ordinary-effort catch in a bases loaded nobody out situation with corners up and middle infielders playing back on a not-very-high (25'-ish per OP) fly right behind the mound.

--There was a difference of opinion between the plate umpire, who decided in real time that it was not an IFF, and the base umpire, who decided after the fact that it was an IFF, but whose probity is suspect given his willingness to admit to a coach that he blew the call.
