error on infield fly call?

I disagree---the infield fly should have been called in this case with men on first and second---by calling the infield fly correctly the batter is out regardless of a fielder catching it or not and the runner can advance at their own risk

Please do not cover one umpiring mistake, not calling the infield fly, by compunding it with calling it a foul ball.

You need to review the definitions of a fair/foul ball OBR 2.00, and re-read the question from bb2win I was answering. There was no mistake in my post to cover up and the only compounding I'm doing is in my 401K.

Is it not fact that when the umpire calls infield fly the batter is out then and there with the call?

The batter is out on an infield fly if and when the ball becomes fair.

Dash is correct.

Juts another case of ineptitude on the part of the men in blue and how they protect each other here in this forum---it should have been called INFIELD FLY BATTER OUT as soon as the ball was in the air and determined to be a fair ball. Good umps in this case might even call INFIELD FLY IF BALL STAYS FAIR so the runners know the story..

There is no judgement by the umpires based on which fielder can catch it--it is in the infield and in the air

Same situation as I am speaking of---the ump should call infield fly --he doesn't and he is wrong


Sir I do not need to read anything--we are talking a situation where the men in blue are wrong on not calling the infield fly ----typical blue arrogance on your part sir !!!!
