Infield Fly Rule, Let Drop?

[ELTEXAN]

I don’t know why fielders don’t let the ball fall to the ground on the infield fly rule pop ups.

 

[broncosmitty]

Fascinating.

 

[PeoplesChicken]

Uh because it's not waffle ball in your back yard and it would be a total bitch move

 

[PeoplesChicken]

Fascinating.

No you are!

regardless if the ball is caught or not, once the umpire calls an infield fly the batter is automatically out. since that removes the force play, it would be pointless to intentionally drop it

Not pointless. Idiot runners would race off the bases a significant percentage of the time.
How do I know that? They’ve done half the time or more when the guy drops it unintentionally

So you either don’t watch baseball or you’re lying about not seeing runners fuck that up MANY times.

If the umpire cals infield fly runners are allowed to return to the base weather they drop it or catch it. They can be doubled off if they chose to advance at their own risk wether its caught or dropped as well.

Yes. That’s the rule.

Do you sit around and just think of dumb strategies that go against conventional wisdom? Like maybe if you continue to throw these moronic ideas out there, you may eventually hit upon one where you don’t end up looking like a complete fucking dumbass?

There’s literally half a dozen videos on how runners fuck this up and run themselves into outs. Sorry you’re just a status quo sissy

Dude. You’re a fucking embarrassment. Every fucking thread you start is the same fucking shit. “Yeah, I know that people who do this shit for a living always do it this way, but I, a random dumbass, have determined a better way”

Every. Fucking. Time.

How many stupid fucking ideas do you need to have shot down before it dawns on you that you’re not smarter than everyone else? You’re not smarter than just about anyone. Just stop.

There are specific occasions when it can work in your favor to let it drop.

But ask Francisco Lindor how often that works.

How many videos are there of a really smart infielder costing his team by letting it drop?

So. Once again. No on point arguments. Just name calling. Got it.

Not name calling. It’s an intervention. Just stop. All of your impulses are bad. Stop doing the things you do. Your brain doesn’t function well.

I saw one incident in one of the compilation vids where the ball takes a ridiculous bounce and the runners advance. No idea if that team ended up scoring.
Every other time in every video, every one of the compilations… the runners go and get doubled up.
