[Sudden Impact]

Time for a change......

 

[taylorvol]

Yes. There has to be a force play at third for infield fly rule to kick in.

No, 2 or more runners with a force play in effect and less than 2 outs. Meaning bases could be loaded. Not in effect with 2 outs, runner only on first, or anytime there’s not a force play in effect.

 

[fryeguy93]

No one else warming up

Big Red time. They don't stand a chance.

For those of us unable to watch what happened?

Thrasher hit by a batted ball while running the bases. Caught him on the foot. Would have been a single.

No, 2 or more runners with a force play in effect and less than 2 outs. Meaning bases could be loaded. Not in effect with 2 outs, runner only on first, or anytime there’s not a force play in effect.

The rule applies only when there are fewer than two outs, and there is a force play at third base (i.e., when there are runners at first and second base, or the bases are loaded).[1] In these situations, if a fair fly ball is in play, and in the umpire's judgment is catchable by an infielder with ordinary effort, the umpire shall call "infield fly" (or more often, "infield fly, batter's out" or "infield fly if fair" when there is a chance of the ball drifting foul). When the rule is in effect, the batter will be out[2] regardless of whether the ball is actually caught. Umpires typically raise the right arm straight up, index finger pointing up and call to signal the rule is in effect.

If "infield fly" is called and the fly ball is caught, it is treated exactly as an ordinary caught fly ball; the batter is out, there is no force, and the runners must tag up. On the other hand, if "infield fly" is called and the ball lands fair without being caught, the batter is still out, thus there is still no force, and the runners now have a choice to tag up or to run, as opposed to having to run when the batter is not called out due to this rule (because the ball was not caught). This rules frees the runner from having to guess what the infielder, who may or may not catch the ball, will ultimately do. In either case, the ball is live, and the runners may advance on the play, at their own risk.

An infield fly may be declared by any umpire on the field.

Not you too, WTO. MY GOD> HAVE WE LOST WTO??

 

[jdogvol]

As a percentage? Less than every other team.

Well, yeah, since we have like a million total bases this season.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

3 straight Ks coming up.

Or not.

 

[drvenner]

Why was that not infield fly ruled?

I think there has to be two or more men on base. Not positive though
