    Man on second and first or bases loaded and less than 2 outs and batter hits a pop fly (not a bunt or a line drive) that can be handled by an infielder with “ordinary effort” the batter is automatically out and the runners on base can advance at their own peril.

    Or, for that matter, the off-side rule in soccer/football.

    The infield fly rule isn’t that confusing … but can someone explain Cricket?

    I thought they released a bunch of flys in the infield.

    If replay is instant, then why does it take so long to make a decision? :)

    Of course, the infield fly rule is much less than 100 years old! Is that UFO also a time machine?

    You’re allowed to shoo it without reprisal.

    If they’ve been watching baseball for 100 years, maybe they can explain why so many earthlings are fascinated by it. So far it’s escaped me.
