Skenes destroyed the Chubs today. 6 inning, no- hitter with 11 K's. At least he'll get the win this time after they blew it for him last time

UMP SHOW: White Sox-Orioles Game Ends On The Dumbest Interference Call You'll Ever See
I don't really believe what I just watched. White Sox threatening to tie it in the 9th against the O's and the game ends on that? How can a professional umpire make that call? Yes, by the exact letter...

Nah it was the right call. People calling it dumb just don't understand the game.

I thought it was ticky tacky but you said it yourself.
By the book it’s the correct call.

So the bigger issue is just because it's a pop up on the infield with runners at 1st and 2nd (or bases loaded) and less than 2 outs, it's not automatically an infield fly unless it's in the course of a regular action of the fielder.
IF a runner impedes the fielder to where it doesn't appear to be a regular action (meaning delaying him from getting to the spot), the umpire is under no obligation to call it an infield fly if, in his judgement, the pop up is not a regular play for the field. Therefore, the delay caused by the runner could potentially lead to the ball dropping and the runners all being safe.
It's 100% the correct call. Having had this very scenario called for and against me when I coached softball, I had flashbacks last night watching it

The little league rule is more or less verbatim to the MLB and NFHS rule when it comes to the "ordinary effort" part.

So was I - between calling Hyde every name in the book for putting in Heasley and all that, it was a great call....by the rules in the book, it was right - the ump calling the interference wouldn't necessarily be the one calling the infield fly either.
Jason has had the phantom "it's not an infield fly" thing called when one of the girls couldn't get around the runner at 2nd base. He got ejected for it

MLB ump Ángel Hernández retiring after 3 decades
MLB umpire Ángel Hernández is retiring effective immediately, ending a controversial three-decade-long career that in recent years turned Hernández into a source of consternation with players and a punching bag among fans on social media.
MLB umpire Ángel Hernández retiring after 3 decades
MLB umpire Ángel Hernández is retiring effective immediately, ending a controversial three-decade-long career that in recent years turned Hernández into a source of consternation with players and a punching bag among fans on social media.
The 62-year-old Hernández, who in a statement confirmed earlier reports he would be retiring, reached a settlement to leave Major League Baseball, according to a source, and will leave after umpiring thousands of games since his debut in 1991.
Hernández, who worked his last game May 9 and was replaced on Lance Barksdale's crew by Jacob Metz, sued MLB in 2017, alleging the league had engaged in racial discrimination. The lawsuit was thrown out by a district court judge, a decision upheld by an appeals court last year.
With a penchant for bad calls -- during a 2018 playoff game, he had three calls reversed by replay in the first four innings -- Hernández received a disproportionate amount of odium from fans. The lawsuit only added to the animus Hernández generated, and the groundswell grew to the point that Hernández retired after missing much of the 2023 season with a back injury.
