That was an absolute abortion of a call. I would be angry if I was a Braves fan.

replacement refs now postseason baseball umpires. unbelievable.
You might as well invoke the infield fly rule on anything in the air.
I still don't see what littering the field solved...
Is Jim Lehrer the crew chief?
One game playoff. See what you've done Bud?

One question I've always wanted to ask, not sure you can answer it, but since you're an umpire, I'll ask you anyway.
Why does MLB have the infield fly rule? If I guy pops up with runners on base, why shouldn't it be a double play, if the infielders are smart enough to pull it off. It's not like the hitter did anything good and is being punished?

It looks to me like the Cardinal shortstop is dodging the ball a few seconds before the infield fly rule was called...so saying he let the ball drop because of the call seems flat out wrong.
Absolutely horrible call. I guess short fly balls are not infield flies. Swell.
