Great minds think alike I suppose. I've just put up a Rule 2.00 Infield Fly/Rule 6.05(e) feature on UEFL (link to post). I included nine different IFF vs no IFF plays and sure enough, this one heads up the list.

On example 3 on this link, can someone please explain why R1 was called out at 2nd Base. Maybe the announcers explain it, but I have no audio on this computer.

I don't think he was called out if we're thinking of the same clip.

It looks like U2 is calling him out, but doesn't he call him safe rather emphatically?

U2 calls him safe initially, but then after some converation calls him out. Everyone walks off the field, inning is over. If R1 is not out at 2nd base then whats the third out?

If we're discussing the Everitt clip, it appears R1 was incorrectly ruled out.

[Lindsay]

Correct, just another IFF play, Mike's hand is up while the ball is airborne, Tim's hand goes up after his fair ball mechanic. As simple as the idea might be, it's establishing that the pitcher & catcher are infielders for the purposes of this rule (explicitly written into Rule 2.00 [infield Fly]).

OK that explains it. I was just watching the clips on your site Gil and I'm thinking ....How is he out??? :D
