The infield fly rule is a rule in baseball intended to prevent infielders from intentionally dropping pop-ups in order to turn double plays (or triple plays). Without this rule, a defense could easily turn a pop fly into a double play when there are runners at first and second base. If the runners stay near their bases to tag up, the defense could let the ball drop, throw to third base and then to second, for a force-out at each base. If any of the runners stray too far from their bases, the defense could catch the pop-up, and double-off any runner that failed to tag up.

In theory, if it is a routine catch by the infielder it can be IFR. But that is intended only if the infielder is a step or two off the infield. That ball was in left field - nowhere near the infield. I hate it when Umps make the game about themselves. MLB umps are the most arrogant bunch of ding dongs that could EASILY be replaced with technology.
