1 out, runner on 1b, pop fly between 1st base & pitcher, caught bumbled dropped, threw to 2b to get runner from 1b to 2b out tried to turn 2 but didn’t

 

ok, for infield fly to happen there must be a force play available at 3B with less than 2 gone.

so if only runner was at 1B, then infield fly rule is not in play.

Ok thanks for clarification. Its seemed so arbitrary in the past. Figured I was missing something... just remembered less than 2 outs part

a lot of umps don’t understand it either  :lmao:

 

it’s probably one of most misunderstood rules in the game despite being pretty clearly worded. 

  • must have fewer than 2 outs.
  • must have a force play available at 3rd (so runners on 1 & 2, or bases juiced).
  • an infielder must be able to make the catch using “routine effort”. 

umpires’ discretion on that last bullet point. 

ump clearly and loudly call it immediately. 
runners can advance at their own risk. 
they are not forced, so tag must be applied to get them out if they do try to advance. 

  • Thanks 1
