I saw this happen once when I was in college in practice. a guy on second screamed "I got it" on a routine pop-up to shortstop near 2nd base. the ball dropped.
is it bush league for a major leaguer to do this? yeah it really is but that doesnt make it out of bounds.
But he showed complete and utter stupidity as to WHEN he employed this. Save it for when you NEED IT. it wont work again.
gay-rod is however building quite a reputation for cheap play. And if he is saying "it happens to him 5 times a week" well that is where I lose a lot of tolerance on this. that is a bold faced idiotic piece of shit lie. maybe he saw it done once and decided to try it out. he was too dumb to pick the right time.

As Stan would say on Southpark, "I've learned something today."
Initial Rule reads: (l) An infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive, with first, first and second, first and third, or first, second and third base occupied before two are out. The ball is dead and runner or runners shall return to their original base or bases;
This later was amended per:
APPROVED RULING: In this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies.

the bjuejays need to stop being pussies and catch the ball
people wanna just compare it to other baseball plays ok- outfielder pretending he is gonna catch a fly ball, infielder acting like there is a close play when there isnt to get a runner to slide etc.
gimme a fucking break
this shit happens all the time the bitch on the bjays is just embarrased that he fucked up
guarantee the same thing happens to popups to arod all day

Illini's definitely right about this. I've seen it tried a few times, and never saw a situation where the fielder actually got away with it.
Everytime I've witnessed this, the ball hit was a soft line drive with a man on first, not a screamer where the fielder has no time to react. It's usually obvious.
what A Rod did was definitely not wrong.... playing baseball my whole life i would do the same shit you cant yell " I got it" or "Mine" but if you just yell ahhh or somin in his ear running past him that is more than fair play. Like A Rod said it is no different then when hes trying to make a catch near the opponents dugout and the players on the bench all scream something. it is no different and A Rod is not only the best players if not the best right now but hes also one of the smartest players him and jeter really know the game inside and out
