Typically, the Umpire is supposed to call it while the ball is still in the air, and apparently 1st and 2nd base runners watch for these calls.Kartikeya Datehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512491310629949028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21636894.post-44843780226112997382012-10-06T20:24:34.320-07:002012-10-06T20:24:34.320-07:00The second objection is irrelevant - despite the m...The second objection is irrelevant - despite the motivation for the rule being about double plays, they're not mentioned in the offical rules: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/definition_terms_2.jsp<br /><br />By the book, the umpires' decision was at least defensible - the short stop was able to catch the ball with much less than extraordinary effort (it wouldn't have been a spectacular diving catch), and the short stop is an infielder.
