The rule says he needs to make the call within reason of putting the offense at a disadvantage. The call was late, severely late. MLB will call it a judgment call, but thats not the rule. the rule wasnt applied correctly because he didnt immediately call it. No other ump called it that way. If it was truly an infield fly rule, why didnt the 3rd base ump call it?
Its a rule that wasnt applied correctly. Regular season game with no travel restrictions to put a team at a disadvantage... gets over turn.
