Thus, it must not have been an ORDINARY and ROUTINE fly ball.

No, it was difficult to judge because Kozma had to travel so far to get to the ball. However, the play still was a play of ordinary effort in the umpire's eyes, since he slowed down and waved his arms when approaching the land spot of the ball.

The ball landed 225 feet in the outfield.

That does not fricking matter, idiot.

Yeah, in the umpsire's eyes. We know it is a judgement call dbag. If you feel so strong about this play, how bout saying it was ordinary in YOUR own eyes. I bet you watched the play on sportscenter the next day. It was a horrible judgement call.

And yes, 225 feet does matter. There is nothing ordinary about a ball that lands that far away from the plate. There is no way that the shortstop could have turned a double play from that position, which the rule was created to nullify. I have seen multiple plays where a ball lands in between two fielders and it was deemed "a confusion by the players."

With that being said, I don't believe this play cost the braves the game. They played atrocious defense and did extremely poor with RISP.

So, in going back to the OP, I don't care that the fans were so ticked off.

Also, in going back to my previous post, frick you Vicks Kennel Club

Common sense matters a lot actually. There is a reason no other infield fly has been called for a ball further than 175 feet.

This was not a judgement call it was an ump inserting himself into the game where he had no right or reason to do so. This is infinitely worse than missing a bang bang play at 1st or something like that.
