OK, I am a little bit late on this and understand the complaint. One of the pictureS in my head as I read the PbP was not really a problem. But I was wondering if there were 2 outs?

Now, think about the technicality of the Infield Fly rule. Doesn't matter how far in the outfield a fly is, if an infielder is giving chase and has a reasonable chance to catch the fly it is subject to the INFIELD FLY rule.

So what I visualized in this PbP is the 2B-man giving chase to a 'tweener in short RF (likely towards the line directly behind the 1B-man) and j.u..s...t out of his reach. And just like that the chase is on by the RF to get the ball.

I have seen plays like that in real life (and are kind of strange to notate on the scoring sheet).
