This is the worst call I have ever seen.
<tinfoil hat on>MLB had the umps deliberately make a horrible game-changing call to advance the idea of expanded instant replay.
If you go by the letter of the rule, it should be called an infield fly.
The infielder was under the ball.
People should be getting ejected for throwing crap onto the field.
Chief, the only condition for an infield fly is that an infielder can make a play on the ball without above average effort.So, by rule, they made the right call.I wouldn't make it... But they are right by the letter of the book.
