The infield fly rule has to be called immediately on routine pop ups in the infield where the infielder is camped under the ball to protect the offensive team.
The infielder was back pedaling 50 feet in the outfield and was never at any point camped under the ball.
Doesn't matter. They've already denied the protest which is a joke.
I wouldn't have even been able to pop a cork on a bottle after that if I was a Cardinals player.
