Terrible fricking call. Worst one I have seen that I can remember.

Please explain this rule and how the ump can possibly justify this?

Worse than Dekinger in '85

My biggest complaint is not calling it until the very last second.

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.

You can call it but that was a bad call and late.

I am not watching. On the road so don't know what happened but:
Infield fly is called when an infielder has a legitimate chance to catch the ball

That is a horseshite call and should be bases loaded only 1 out.
You have to be camped under the ball and an easy catch.. the infielder was still tracking it.. and that's the outfielders fricking ball.. WTF

announcer said if the infielder has a clear chance of making the catch, it is permissible to call

It was the wrong call IMO, but the infield fly can be called in the grass as well. I can see why he made the call as the SS was right there and not in a full sprint, but that's a pretty bad call.

Didn't see the call in question, but even if the ball drifts a little behind the diamond if the umpire deems n infielser may make a routine play then he can technically call an Infield Fly.

It was well out of the infield. It was a routine fly out for the left fielder.
Posted on 10/5/12 at 7:00 pm to Lion Monticello
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.

IT HAS TO BE CALLED IMMEDIATELY! AND YOU KNOW WHY IT WASN'T? BECAUSE IT WAS A frickING FLY BALL TO THE OUTFIELD.

The purpose of the rule is being completely defeated here.

Why punish the team batting?
