Umpires Get it Wrong Along with Everyone Else

I looked at the infield fly rule that wasn't called, including the fact the crew chief told the Pioneer Press that he was looking for something that isn't in the rulebook. Also, Frieri threw to the wrong base and the Twins didn't take advantage.

 

However, the official major league rulebook says nothing about a fielder needing to "get comfortably underneath the ball to catch it." The rulebook states that, "An INFIELD FLY is a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort."

Would it have been ordinary effort for Frieri to catch the ball? Should Bernier have known not to run?
