I'm not saying it definitively was or wasn't an infield fly, and yes, I'm aware it has nothing to do with the dirt or the basepaths. I said exactly what I meant - it's odd to see it called on a ball that's 60 feet or so into the outfield. The Braves lost because they committed too many errors and left too many guys on base, but the IF fly call was still weird.
Why do you like the new WC rule? I guess it makes things exciting for one more team at the end of the year, but throwing out the results of 6 months worth of games is a dumb idea.
