No its not, it is in play with only R2 and R1. The batter would have plenty of time to get to first I see what you mean, I phrased bad. but exactly. it only applies if there is a guy on first and second or more. Not when it's only on first. So that you can't drop a pop up and turn into a DP by messing with the players. It's a complete no brainer rule and undebateable. Why are you allowed to turn a DP on a ground ball but not a flyball?
