...Why wasn't Call's blooper on the infield called infield fly rule..??
was there a man on 1st? can't remember
...Yeah, I believe it was Tena. Umps must have called it a line drive instead of an infield fly...
Infield fly is only with man on both 1st and 2nd or with bases loaded.
Just a man on first isnt infield fly situation.
Reasoning is that every popup with multiple runners on would be dropped on purpose to get a double play.. with just a man on first, usually double play would be avoided just by the batter hustling out the play.

...Nats DID have men on 1st and 2nd... Abrams was on 1st, Tena on 2nd... Did umps blow it..?? Cost the Nats an out, but favored the Cards the way it was called...

All of a sudden cards got plenty of good pitching. With Herrera back and WillyCon on fire offense now alive. Defense sharp as a tack. Cards buyers now.
Hold your horses big boy. Schedule’s been good to the Cards lately.

Name is Swatski ( grandmother’s favorite player was Carl Sawatski). Was trying to temper your optimism with realism not negativism!
