Major League Baseball quietly edited its Twitter profile in the moments after the infield fly debacle in Atlanta tonight, removing the line "We don't understand the infield fly rule, either" from its description.


Above's what it looked like just prior to tonight's game; below is what it looked like at 8:15 EDT tonight.

Given the way umpires called the play, it sounds like the line is more than accurate enough. We'd say this is more Bud Selig micromanagement, but let's be honest; he has no idea what Twitter is.
